Scania Unveils the Super 11 Engine
Scania has recently expanded its powertrain offerings with the launch of the
Super 11 engine, a state-of-the-art addition aimed at enhancing the efficiency and capability of modern transport. With a focus on reduced weight and improved fuel efficiency, this new engine promises to reshape the landscape for high-performance transport applications.
Key Features of the Super 11 Engine
One of the standout features of the Super 11 engine is its
85 kg reduction in weight compared to the Super 13 engine, which significantly boosts performance in weight-sensitive applications. In addition, the engine offers a remarkable
up to 7% improvement in fuel efficiency versus Scania's existing 9-litre engine. These improvements provide transport operators the opportunity to maximize their payloads during critical operations while retaining the power, fuel efficiency, and reliability that Scania is known for.
According to
Ayyoob Zarmehri, Product Manager for Trucks Sales and Marketing at Scania, “This engine opens up new possibilities for energy-efficient and cost-effective transport. It's lighter, leaner, and more flexible, yet still carries the legendary strength and reliability of Scania.”
Performance Specifications
The Super 11 engine is available in
three performance variants: 350 hp (1,800 Nm), 390 hp (2,000 Nm), and 430 hp (2,200 Nm). All versions of the Super 11 comply with Euro 4, 5, and 6 emissions standards, ensuring that operators can meet regulatory requirements without sacrificing performance across various transport applications, from urban logistics to regional haulage.
Moreover,
85% of the Super 11's components are shared with the well-established Super 13 engine, maintaining Scania's engineering DNA while adapting to different operational contexts. The longevity of maintenance intervals is another noteworthy feature; the Super 11 allows for service intervals that are up to
30% longer compared to Scania’s 9-litre engines when using LDF-5 engine oil, contributing to reduced overall service costs and downtime.
Advanced Technology Integrations
The design of the Super 11 engine incorporates numerous technical innovations, including Scania’s own cam phaser technology for variable valve timing, enhancing real-time thermal management and combustion performance. The incorporation of enhanced engine software, along with balance shafts, effectively minimizes vibration and optimizes the driving experience.
Additionally, the engine is equipped with Scania’s Variable Valve Brake (VVB) system, which offers
up to 344 kW of braking power, ensuring robust performance on the road. This culmination of technology not only promises a smoother driving experience but also enhances engine efficiency through Scania’s patented turbo dosing system, further improving AdBlue utilization.
Sustainability Commitment
The fuel efficiency of the Super 11 engine is a major factor contributing to its eco-friendliness. It is designed to operate effectively with both
HVO and FAME, allowing operators to decrease their emissions without the necessity for substantial investments in new infrastructure, which aligns with both operational goals and long-term sustainability efforts.
Versatile Applications
Scania's Super 11 engine is engineered to cater to a diverse range of transport operations, including:
- - Tipper and bulk transport
- - Fuel and volume goods transport
- - Refuse collection and temperature-controlled transport
- - General cargo handling
- - Hooklift and flatbed operations with crane
- - Recovery and fire engine applications
“The Super 11 engine epitomizes the next generation of intelligent transport solutions. It synthesizes Scania’s superior engineering with the efficiency and adaptability that contemporary operators require. Whether on urban routes or long-distance journeys, this engine is designed to deliver exceptional performance, mile after mile,” adds Zarmehri.
In summary, the Super 11 engine stands out as a groundbreaking development in Scania's portfolio, set to launch for purchase in June 2025. Explore more about this innovative engine by visiting
