  • 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.

    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 👍

      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
      @tntfreddan3138 Před 2 lety +2

      @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.

    • @tntfreddan3138
      @tntfreddan3138 Před 2 lety +5

      @@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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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

    As a truck lover, and now truck driver, I loooove the sound of big diesel engines through its short low/hi gears...I've never driven a V8 and I probably never will, but sound wise, an inline-six with a nice (or straight through) exhaust is my preference. 😍

    You have to take a look at the Mack V8 and the Fiat / Iveco V8. I did a lot of driving with both of these and they are as good as the Scania V8. One Renault AE truck did 2.500.000km and another which is still used has 1.300.000km both without any major problems. 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.
