When many people thought that European car manufacturers would no longer develop new diesel engines and would instead focus on new energy, there was always an unexpected surprise. On May 20th, Scania's brand-new 11-liter Super diesel engine was unveiled to meet the needs of lighter and more efficient high-performance transportation solutions.
Compared with the previous Super 13, the brand-new Super 11 engine is smaller in size. It is 85 kilograms lighter than the 13-liter machine, while its fuel efficiency is 7% higher than that of the 9-liter five-cylinder engine. This new machine is designed for transportation tasks that are sensitive to weight and have high requirements for fuel consumption. It provides operators with efficiency, performance and greater flexibility without compromising quality.
The all-new Super 11 diesel engine comes in three horsepower ratings: 350 horsepower (1800 Nm), 390 horsepower (2000 Nm), and 430 horsepower (2200 Nm). The emission standards range from Euro 4 to Euro 6. 85% of its components are the same as those of the Super 13 engine, reducing costs. Ayyoob Zarmehri, the Product Manager for Scania Trucks Sales and Marketing, stated that the new engine opens up new possibilities for energy-efficient and cost-effective transportation. It is lighter, smaller, and more flexible, yet it still retains the strength and reliability that Scania is renowned for. For operators who need to balance performance, payload, and sustainability in their daily operations, this is a wise choice.
Compared with Scania's 9-liter engine, the maintenance interval of this engine has been extended by 30%, which helps operators increase uptime and reduce overall maintenance costs.
The all-new Super 11 diesel engine is equipped with Scania's own cam phase technology for variable valve timing, enabling real-time engine thermal management and enhancing combustion performance. This is combined with new engine software and a balance shaft to reduce vibration and a powerful engine brake, providing up to 344 kilowatts of power through Scania's Variable Valve Brake (VVB) system. All of this adds up to an engine that offers a smoother and more comfortable driving experience. Scania's patented turbocharging system also improves the utilization rate of urea solution and further enhances engine efficiency.
Super 11 can use biodiesel to reduce carbon footprint and achieve sustainable development.
According to Scania, the application models of Super 11 include fire engines, urban distribution vehicles, garbage collection vehicles, temperature-controlled transport vehicles, hazardous materials transport vehicles, bulk cargo transport vehicles or dump trucks, etc.
Starting from June this year, the brand-new Super 11 diesel engine will be officially available for sale in Europe.
