Scania V8 40 years – The rumbling legend turns 40
The power, the feeling and that unmistakeable sound – they are part of what makes Scania’s V8 engine a legend. Add excellent fuel economy in its output segment, the reputation of being almost unburstable and having an excellent trade-in value, and you have a combination that’s hard to beat. The strong reputation built by the original 14-litre engine is being carried to new heights with the 16-litre version launched in 2000.
Scania V8 40 years – Birth of a King
When Scania unveiled its 350 hp 14-litre V8 engine at the end of the 1960s, it was Europe’s most powerful truck engine, and it held that distinction for many years. The V8 made Scania the King of the Road.
Scania V8 40 years – Driveability
During the development process, working on the performance of the new engine, the engineers coined the concept of ‘driveability’. Driveability characterises how an engine behaves, together with the rest of the powertrain, while driving. Peak power is generally of secondary importance, but the torque characteristics are critical in determining how well the engine performs.

Staying in touch with the fleet
Scania fleet management helps operators keep costs firmly in check. The service includes a data logging unit on-board the vehicle and communication with the office. The operator gets a comprehensive overview of how the fleet is running, which in turn contributes to lower fuel costs and helps motivate drivers. From 2009, digital tachograph data can be downloaded as well. The service, which includes GPS positioning, is fully compatible with a mixed fleet of vehicles.
Every drop of fuel counts
Drivers and fuel account for more than half of costs for a typical truck operator. Scania puts every conceivable effort into optimising fuel economy and uptime. This has a huge impact on the customer’s business and capacity to earn money.
