Why Scania Made A V8?

Speaking of trucks, there is hardly any engine more typical for a brand than the Scania V8. Currently, it is produced in the second generation and demand after does not calm down. In countries with a higher load limit than 40-ton as in the EU, such as Italy or Scandinavian countries, it is a preferable power unit. With the latest 770 hp and 3,700 Nm engine, it has a lot to offer, but where does the original idea to create it even come from?

Here where I like I can hear them and Mercedes trucks accelerating well over 3 km away. They straight pipe these things and put turbos with ungodly sounds, both in quality and loud. It's pretty nice, brings back a lot of childhood memories and the sound they make is definitely louder than any vehicle ever. Many times I remember walking on the streets and one of those would accelerate after a stop and everyone would have their ears ringing for a good while, when they are there, you can hear nothing but them.

[@gprimeofx]

I used to be a truck driver for about a decade when I was younger, and one if my fondest memories was driving my timber truck with the 580-horsepower 16-litre V8. I still love that lumpy idle and that awesome drumming heartbeat of the V8 when you gun it for a long uphill with a full load! There really is nothing like a Scania V8 👍

[@GamerMomentsToo]

Huh fwolf!

[@tntfreddan3138]

Sadly, I'm driving a Volvo FH540 Dual Clutch with a 13L I6. Though, the company has a few Scania trucks as well, but mostly G480s and G490s. I think they have 2 V8s. An R560 and an R580. I do, however, think Volvo is better suited for our jobs, though, since it has electric steering and I find the I-Shift transmissions are better for reversing. Just my opinion. Otherwise, Scania makes damn good engines and really comfortable cabs.

[@tntfreddan3138]

@ժʝ_ Not really sad about it. I think the I-Shift Dual Clutch is the best transmission to have ever been mounted on a truck. And the reason why I find it better for reversing is that when you let go of te pedals in a Scania it goes into neutral and just rolls, but in a Volvo it stays in gear so it's like letting up the clutch. So when you need to do precision reversing it's easier to just operate the brake pedal. I don't really know what causes it but when steering full to one side or the other, in a Scania, it sometimes starts to jump up and down a lot. Might be the differentials, but idk. And we need to steer quite a lot sometimes when we reverse, especially when we reverse at an angle. Sometimes the truck can be at a 45° angle or more but the trailer is straight in the gate or at a dock. We use slightly more complicated trailers in Sweden than the rest of the world.

[@EnglishLaw]

Interesting that it only had 580 BHP but was 16 litres. My AMG V8 was only 5.4 litres (a third of the capacity) but was already 350 BHP.

[@tntfreddan3138]

@@EnglishLaw Can your 350hp V8 pull a heavy trailer? Don't think so. It's the torque that's most important. I'd guess your AMG has somewhere around the 500Nm torque mark. However, a 580hp, 15.6L Scania V8 has around 2800Nm of torque. The transmissions also does a lot for the pulling capacity. 1st gear in an OptiCruise is usually around 15/1. That means 1 rotation of the wheel is 15 rotations of the crank. That means the torque is now multiplied by 15. Let's say you have 3000Nm of torque (almost like a Volvo FH16 700). You now have 45 000Nm of torque. All of these stats are quite impressive, considering the engines only use about 4x as much fuel (on average, over one day's work) as a normal car, but are made to pull 50-60 times that of the weight of a normal car.

You forgot to mention that Mack partnered with Scania to make their legendary E9 v8 engine. They're pretty similar engines except mack used 4 heads per engine while the Scania used 8 per engine, also mack used a V style pump while Scania used an inline 8 injection pump. Too bad Volvo killed Mack before they could develop their engine further, I think If it works in Europe it would work in the US.

[@Duppavich]

I was just about to comment that one sounded like a Superliner!

[@12345anton6789]

Scania and Mack had a partnership for around 40 years, joint development of the V8 engine, producing buses, trucks for each other. But Volvo killed that, they wanted Mack to use Volvo engines

[@Numer1Polak]

Scania developed the diesel direct injection combustion chambers/heads for mack, since they were using gas engines and lanova diesel heads but those were low output. That's how the partnership was born. They co developed many projects together. Fun fact renault was owned by mack and they supplied mack e9 v8 engines for the magnum trucks. So even though renault and scania v8 trucks were competitors they essentially used the same engine.

[@robwhite3241]

@@Numer1Polak Yeah I knew that mack was one of the first in America to use the lanova design but Im not sure what the advantage was. Scania and mack also shared some truck design like (my favorite) the Mack Mh looks very similar to the Scania cabover designs.

A straight 6 is cheaper to make less components means more reliability cheaper to rebuild makes the same power as a similar sized v8 and more efficient smoother running

[@aaroncone6778]

Actually, the Scania V8 diesels, came about in the 1950s. They had a partnership with Mack, to develop Mack's "Thermodyne" V8, in return, Scania had received bus chassis, for Scania to sell/distribute in the European markets, under their own name.

There may also be another reason for the cab. In many European countries, there are rules for how far the freight train may be. So having a long nose only for the engine is a bad deal as it will cost on the length of the cart and therefore how much cargo it can handle.

[@Outside85]

Plus with loads of roads and cities that are centuries old...it makes sense to have trucks be as nimble as possible since many roads or cities weren't planned with them in mind.

[@pontuxdanex]

Also its quite common for European trucks to go on ferries where space is VERY limited, also the cost for ferry tickets increase by the meter so you want to keep the trucks as short as possible.

Scania tried to set foot in NA but failed. They however still make engines for marine applications in NA.

[@The_Stronzo]

That’s something I’ve put a fair bit of thought into. You should be able to get a crate engine sent over or at least a used one from anywhere in Europe. Those engines are bulletproof and run like a dream. As mentioned above they have marine applications where they make twice the power of the road going versions, the limiting factor is cooling as there’s only so many radiators you can fit under a bonnet, who knows perhaps you could fit two radiators in-line behind a long nose pete. I’d love to see one of them all done up, they do sound awesome even without a straight through pipe. The ones to have are either the ones out of a scania 164 or a 143 if you want a 14L. Sure you could go bigger, as they say there’s nothing as sweet as a 16L. You can get one out of an early R series, and the 620hp is the one to have out the 4 options. There’s people still running euro 5 620 at 1.5/2 million miles, never opened from the factory and still on all stock internals.

Scania is one of the most trucks appeared in Car show either on KZbin or TV. Clarkson (Ex Top Gear presenter, now on Grand Tour) once said : "There are 2 kind of truckers in the world, one who OWN Scania or one who WANTED TO OWN Scania" This phrase is accurate at his time because Scania is most common in Europe alongside with Volvo too. Matt Watson from Carwow once pissed of how he hated Scania because his Mercedes Atross he drove has lack power and displacement and he sweared alot of it and said "SCANIA SCANIA SCANIA" like mocking that brand. There is so many things that you can found in Scania and even they meme it too.

on average Mercedes trucks are the most popular, if you go by historic new vehicle registrations and data provided by European Automobile Manufactures Association, Volvo and Scania often sit in 3rd or 4th place in terms of truck sales, there are also plenty of truck drivers about for whom if given a free choice, Scania would be a distant pick behind offerings from Mercedes, MAN, Volvo and even others, as headline numbers like power and torque don't tell the whole story.

Seeing those 143 Streamline clips, gorgeous. Back then Sweden had 36 Tons was the limit, and after speed limit increase, unwritten rule "10hp on 1 ton" appeared in hard Scandinavian applications. And Scania just made it with 350hp back then, then up to 580hp since 2000 in 60 ton era, and now having 770hp with newest 74-76 ton regulations in Scandinavia. In mid Europe 410-450hp is still most common for those who are driving standard 4x2 + 3 axle semitrailer variations, so we are not far from 50 year old 10hp/ton rule

I have a friend in Australia who did 4.500.000km with his Mack Superliner and than had the engine rebuild and has now again did more than 1.000.000km. The V8 coupled with the B18 gearbox in the AE is a very good combination.

[@skylinefever]

That's great news, EGR is the worst smog device ever to happen to diesels.

[@theunknown2142]

Scania is actually right now the only truck manufacturer that runs pure SCR system, the D13 have been without it for some years now

[@skylinefever]

I wonder if that would be possible in California, USA. They have the hardest smog laws of all.

[@mattt198654321]

The Detroit 6V92 is my favorite diesel sound ever, but the Scania V8 is a close....close second

[@belgian_i30n]

Best thing bout them is the music they make not single other truck sounds that good

[@robwhite3241]

Mack E9 v8 is close.

[@rampage3337]

i'm actually 100% sure that the 5 000 000km is not actually the most one of those engines has gone. i took transport in highschool and we got to go to transport Companys and just be a trainee to just see how they do stuff and such. one of the old Scania they had was already past the limit of the odometer and was already 1/3 on it's way to max the odometer again. they told me they changed the engine a few thousand km before the odometer maxed itself out and reset. when i was there the truck was used to transport iron powder in bulk with at total weight of 64tons.

but the scania at 6:56 is 144 that used ds14

[@ray6442]

1:54 scared the hell out of me, was so loud lol. Thought my roof was coming down hahaahhaha

[@themadscientest]

Scania made an I5, you should do a video on big inline 5 engines!

[@fidelcatsro6948]

probably less fuel consuming than a v8 i guess..

[@fleurdewin7958]

We use Scania 9.3L inline 5 in town buses in south east Asia. It doesn't make alot of power, but they are very reliable. Getting 4km/L in congested city.

[@themadscientest]

@@fleurdewin7958 If only it was swapped out for a trolley bus or streetcar system, bus service creates tons of diesel fumes in urban places.

You've scored some points with me! 1:43 shows an Aussie R142 V8 Intercooler

[@Aaron-be2pt]

I HATE V8s in cars and light-duty trucks, but man, I really love heavy-duty V8s from trucks. Scanias are rare in the US, but we have Macks, Cats, and old Detroits, although they're all rare anymore. Awesome video, lots of cool older footage. This one is a good one.

[@fordman2288]

How tf can you hate them in cars and pickups?!? Seriously?

[@TruckinDavo]

I wish Scania would offer trucks here in the United States. I love Kenworth and Peterbilt but... I'd love to have a R or S 730/770.. be sweet as hell & be king of the mountains. And Scania V8 just sounds so amazing.

[@ramadhanisme7]

Damn, crazy power figures from those behemoth engines

[@weekendminitoystruckcarclu4632]

Would love to have a scania Love the sound of the scania V8 diesels...

Excellent video. These more in depth videos are great.

[@nebeladem1239]

damn that turbo sound of the older trucks

[@forsbom90]

[@WorivpuqloDMogh]

Meanwhile i am running a 3 cylinder in my VW. I really wanted a naturally aspirated engine in it. A 1.6L. But hey, we dont get to choose this anymore. Kudos to Scania for this. I love the sound of these.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

8:45 sounds like a real beast.

[@astramorikes224]

Godlike sound.

[@lorangajapp8086]

The sound!

[@bitelaserkhalif]

Our locally built trucks has the same engine output (PS) with 60's Swede :( Many truck manufacturer turns medium duty truck into heavy duty. Anything above 300hp is expensive. Hence those truck climbs very slowly and causing traffic pileups

[@luclucas135]

Thanks

[@Tedkelvin]

thong slappin...BBW diesel V8 is everybody's fave...honourable mention CAT 3408,Fuso 8DC series.

[@Damien.D]

Scania V8 can easily be spotted on the road just by the sound! (and also because top of the range V8 trucks are heavily customized by their drivers or owners, with lots of chrome, lights, and even full custom paints).

[@CoreMaster111]

People who can afford Scania V8 can also afford to do customization to their truck.

[@tommeiner9983]

6:55 That's still the DSC14 in the clip, not the DC16.

I've got a scania 143 with dsc14, great work horse, with no electronics, it's such a simple engine.

i've got a 2016 R450, couldn't afford a V8 yet but can't wait to get my hand on one

Is space concerns why the MB Actros has a V6 instead of an inline 6? The USA doesn't get an MB Actors, so I don't know much about it. 6:50 That's amazing, I never saw a "Saver ring" anywhere. I like it.

[@skylinefever]

@@R400TVR Okay, I didn't realize that. I like inline sixes more anyway.

Since you mentioned Italy, can we please have a video regarding Iveco trucks?

Why? If Scania is the best selling truck in Italy the Italians obviously know that Ivecos are dreadful like everyone else does 😂

Iveco used to have a V8 too on EuroTech Cursor. Also the most common inline 6 of Iveco has a very distinguishable tone.

[@PH_78]

I was thinking just the same... I have driven and owned several Ivecos, including Eurostar V8. Not the best trucks but V8 was fun to drive. I think Aussies still have them?
