At Interschutz 2010 in Leipzig 7-12 June, Scania is exhibiting six vehicles showing the wide array of solutions possible within Scania’s truck range.
The new V8 trucks stand out on the road with exterior styling details such as V8 badges, black grilles, chromium details, specially designed tailpipes and xenon headlamps.
The world’s most powerful – Scania’s R-series is now gaining an even more high-powered V8 as its flagship model.
Combining high performance with strict environmental standards was the focus of Scania’s development work for the new V8 engine.
For more than six months, Daniel Pereira Casalinho has been hauling ice cream, vegetables and paper all over Europe in the world’s most powerful truck. The new Scania V8 has become king of the mountains on his routes.
Scania’s new R-series range of trucks has been selected as the International Truck of the Year 2010, the most prestigious distinction in the European truck industry.
Reduced wear and tear on the vehicle, better fuel efficiency and increased driver safety all add up to a winning technology – Scania Opticruise.
Together, Scania’s P-series and the new high-torque 13-litre EGR engines open new potential to specify compact, powerful trucks that are highly competitive in terms of weight. EGR technology combines excellent fuel economy with the convenience of not requiring additives, leaving space on the chassis for extra fuel or other equipment. The broad P-series cab range enables space to be optimised for a multitude of applications.
According to a recently concluded purchasing agreement, Scania has been commissioned to supply 91 trucks to the Finnish Defence Forces during 2009 and 2010. The deal also includes a five-year repair and maintenance agreement and an option for another 197 vehicles within a 4-year period.
