Some dates are wrong.

So Scania didnt had the crown for eight years. It was just a bit more than 3 years until Volvo launched their brand new 17.3l engine.

The battle must exist to improve the trucks. All Scania has to do is remap the V8 and itll be at 800 hp and still running clean. Then Volvo will go 830 hp and 4200 Nm of torque, and so on and so on.

[@bendermi]

They are making the engines more efficient that's why they are getting stronger . The one with the strongest transmission is the winner . Do you know if the Scania is having full power in all gears?

[@hoost3056]

@bendermi no, unless the customer asks for that style of mapping. Even when the transmission is put in manual mode you don't get max power in the lower gears unless you ask the dealer to do it or get a remap from someone. The Volvo I drive now has a moderate hp/high torque tune from the factory ( 455hp/1850 ft-lbs ) and in manual mode or performance mode the engine doesn't go nowhere near the horsepower peak just because of the factory tune. It shifts slow and low, and gets high 7s to low 8s all the time. It can do better with more responsive tuning but the factory tune is for a new driver so they don't kill themselves. I've been driving for decades and am used to manual trucks and high powered vehicles.

the reason why Scania & Volvo is so good is this battle that has been going on for 100 years know!

[@adamhlali8106]

Swede here: Why did Saab and Volvo battle over safety? Simple: Cause why the fuck not? Some healty competition never hurts. One makes something better and the other one has to step its game up and so one. Eventually both will be better in general than the rest. Volvo and Saab cars were among the safest in the world at their glory time. And Scania and Volvo are among the best trucks in its own league above the rest. Also, as a worker at research on Scania, hearing the news of the 780 Volvo... It made most of us laugh... Like come on 10hp? I guess 800 is there for us... Unlike their D17, our DC16 is proven, and capable of 1200... Just needs a stronger gearbox and aftertreatment system. And also cooling.

[@markusylitalo8376]

Years ago I laughed at Volvos ad about their newest engina at the time. "We have gained the tourque of the V8". They referred to Scanias top engine at the time. I thought, do they really think that Scania stopped developing their V8?! I don't think I6 will ever gain the tourque of V8 as long they both developed simultanius. And if it true that one here said that Volvo messurres from flywheel and Scania from wheels, the comparing is unfair.

[@adamhlali8106]

@@markusylitalo8376 I think both measure the engine. You cant measure torque on the wheels, just horsepower. The torque at the propshaft is around 26000+ nm. And you can reach the torque of a V8 in an I6, however, something that isnt talked about is power delivery. A V8 has a much more balanced power output, while a I6 have "deadspots" where the engine isnt pumping out the top power even if its in the right RPM range. And yes, it is noticable if you drive one. I notice the different engines after a few meters.

T cabs don't exist from factory anymore. We still see the older series 3 ones from time to time. Volvo dropped the VN series back in late 90s and no one can say why.

It has a few reasons, a V8 in US trucks makes less sense since you have a nose and therefore length of the engine is less of an issue. Also weight, in Finland they a road legal truck and trailer may weigh up to 100 metric tons and that with mountains. Whilst the US is relatively flat Europe has 3 mountain ranges, with the Alps the pyrenese and technically the ural mountains in Russia but that is a bit of the split between Europe and Asia. And even then those extreme engines are a rare sight with only fanbases driving those. But most are still between that 400 to 550 HP mark.

[@VilleWilen]

Was there really any battling untill late 00´s?

[@dreadzjackson5349]

For real

[@deezelfairy]

There was a lot of battling in the 1960/70's that's when the horsepower race really started in Europe. It's also what began the end of the British truck industry - our typical attitude of "we're the best, take us or leave us" and the market left them. Thing is, Britain was the best for a long time, but we sat on our hands whilst the competition over took us. In the mid 60's, your best offerings from a British truck manufacturer was a 180hp Gardner, a Leyland 680 (180-200hp) or some offered a 220 Cummins usually detuned to 205hp. When trucks like the Volvo F88 dropped with 270hp in 1965 then the first Scania V8's in 1969 with 350hp it's no wonder our hauliers switched. Numbers aren't that impressive today but going from 180hp to 270hp is a 50% increase in power - staggering at the time. Imagine one of the US truck manufacturers announcing tomorrow that they were releasing a 900hp otr truck - that's how significant that's how significant those power gains were in the 60/70's TV

[@spv1093]

@@deezelfairy During the 1950s I visited Scotland as a sailor. At one point we unloaded pulp to four-axle trucks such as AEC and Leyland. It was cold weather and the drivers sat in short cabins and wiped the windows with rags. It did not seem to find effective heat in the cabins. But there were in the Volvos and Scania Vabis that were later sold in the UK. As for Volvo, mostly F86 was sold in the UK. According to what was heard, it was the best profit to sell F86 instead of F88.

[@deezelfairy]

@@spv1093 That was the thing, British hauliers were tight with their money which is why the F86 was more popular then the F88. It's also why you'd see our drivers wiping their windows with rags as back then a heater was an 'optional extra' on British trucks of that period. You had a real good boss if you got any options that were for driver comfort. With the Swedish manufacturers things like heaters were standard fitment. Sleeper cabs weren't a big thing in British trucks either - drivers were generally expected to sleep on top of cover over the engine hump in the cab 😂

[@smurface549]

I'm inclined to believe that they don't battle each other for having the most powerful engine for the sake of having the most powerful engine. Instead, they both operate in the same market and neither can affort to fall significantly behind. Also in parts of Scandinavia and Finland trucks can be significantly more heavy than elsewhere (exception is of course Australia), and it's often somewhat mountaineous terrain. So even with 780HP it might not be an absurd abundance of power and the need for more is easily justifiable. It then boils down to who's having the more lucky hand with their latest development, and when the next release of a newer version happens.

Just my thoughts: They probably didn't find it economically viable. Scania make marine versions of the same V8 with up to 1150hp, so the power itself isn't the problem. But the whole drive line and the cooling system must also be upgraded to withstand the torque and power and the same time the engine has to meet the emission standards. The emission standards aren't so strict for marine engines. It's a lot of development work. The truck would be expensive and probably wouldn't be very popular.

You need to study your specs a lot more thoroughly before posting these videos. The Volvo F-series was released in 1977 with a 10 liter F10 and a 12liter F12. Top of the line at release was 320hp. 1979 saw the Globetrotter cab emerge and be a huge success for the F12. The F-series got a big brother in 1988 with the 16liter 465hp F16, and then rightly evolved into the FH series in 1993. Scania ran 11 and 14liter engines from their 110 straight 6 and 140 V8 up through the years, coming out with a smaller 8liter with the 2 series, the 82, upgraded to 9 liters with the 93. Along with the 4 series came also a 16liter V8 as the new king of the road, and as they say, the rest is history. The 2 brands have always battled. Not only on horsepower. On everything. Safety, fuel mileage, design, ease of use, smoothest transmission, heaviest hauler, highest payload, driver comfort...

The 770 from scania is on the rear axel and de 780 form Volvo is at the crank so if you count the drivetrain loss by the scania has actually 850 bhp at the crank

Currently in India, The powerful truck is Volvo 540 fmx cab(if I I not wrong). Volvo didn't released its fh series engines. But,scania launched uts super engine this year in March and max hp is 560hp. But,scania is giving 560hp oy in tippers.

Why is it still called fh16 when it a 17 litre engine it should be fh17?

[@TruckTropia]

The engine is called d17 👍

[@qe2836]

@@TruckTropia Volvo's model number usually refers to the size of the engine so it's logical that this should be called a FH17. But maybe there's something else with the model and FH17 will come later.👍

It's not a matter of strength. It's POWER. Interesting review, but many fact mistakes and confusions.

funny fact, if iveco wants, already have a 1000 hp marine V8 turbo diesel that just need conversion to shut them down. FPT rules.

Another fun fact, truck engines and marine engines are not the same. Marine engines are tuned for a lot more horse power and in many cases less reliable.

[@sibbolo9204]

@@rude252 maybe the opposite, marine engine can't left you stranded in the open sea like a truck into an open road. Anyway, adapt it to euro 6 and so on, sure will have a drop, easily i bet could stay on 800 hp easily. Because it's a marine engine born from V8 of turbostar.

End the battle and show us the torque curve let the facts speak. There has always been one king of the road and the winnee has the widest torque curve .

[@MichaelTucker]

The difference is that Volvo measure horsepower at the flywheel, while Scania measures horsepower at the rear wheels.

[@audoinxr6372]

No they dont

[@ontheroadagain4773]

If that was the fact, I think Scania already would have informed something about that instead of staying quiet and admit that Volvo is stronger. I'm sure that some standards are set for how to measure engine power and torque on every truck.

[@patodonovan274]

Both measured to the same standard.

[@fortune300]

That torque curve from the Volvo 780hp engine looks like a bad joke...

I've been telling everyone this exact thing! I think Volvo not really serious to challenge the 770 Scania. Scania 770 have better and wider torque curve.

@@charlienewbanks3835 Drag race?? These trucks aren't built for drag race, they're built to pull heavy loads. A test should be made on a long uphill (like Hallandsåsen in Sweden) with fully loaded trucks. And it's a little more complicated than just the engine power or the engine torque. It's also about transmission, aka efficient gear ratios. I don't doubt that Scania could win that race. 20hp more isn't so much here either.

This is why Cat stopped makes engines for heavy duty trucks, because they know they will lose their legacy for not being able to make powerful and efficient engines while being compliant with emissions.

The real answer is because they both shat their pants when Iveco thrown on the marked the ungodly Turbostar V8

[@chrisyboy666]

You do realise the way Volvo and Scania measure their power output is different right ? Scania measure @ the diff Volvo @ the flywheel so Scania is still the most powerful and most people know this is your going to make videos I think you need to do more research

[@TruckTropia]

I know that, but volvo still gives up a higher number of hp. there is therefore much more behind it than just hp

[@DanielBeard-un2fg]

Both super strong trucks. I respect both brands. For me I like comfort when working. So I like my daf for great living area and great levels of comfort. 480 bhp is what we run and I think in Britain at 44 tonnes that's still enough power

[@ontheroadagain4773]

@chrisyboy That's old. Today all Europen trucks use the same standards for measuring power and torque. Do you think Scania would stay quiet when Volvo claim their engine is stronger if it actually isn't?
