30.11.2011 Scania New Engine Platform

Scania unveiled its new engine platform that will be used worldwide for all emission standards: Euro 3, Euro 4, Euro 5, EEV and Euro 6. European markets also have access to an extended range of Euro 5 and EEV engines with SCR technology. The engines can operate on up to 100% biodiesel. All inline engines are based on the latest platform introduced in 2007 with technologies to meet Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission requirements, as well as Euro 4 and Euro 3. Scania’s V8 engine range is available worldwide and for all current emission levels.

The new engines come with a new range of gearboxes—new Scania Opticruise and new Scania Retarder—all with improved performance. The changeover to the new engines is taking place at Scania’s production units in South America during the second half of 2011. The new Euro 3 and Euro 4 engines as well as the additional Euro 5 and EEV SCR engines will be introduced in European production during 2012.
