Scania presents new and powerful engine platform

With its high power density, significantly extended life expectancy and significant improvement in CO2 emissions, the next-generation Scania in-line engine sets new standards for fuel efficiency in generator sets.

The features of the new design include more precise cooling, an optimized engine block, a structurally improved cylinder head and a more robust engine control with high-strength gears.

After a decade of development, Scania’s new engine platform is now complete. “This is the most economical engine we have ever built. It also delivers more torque and more power. The basic engine lasts up to 50 percent longer. This is a real game changer in the field of power generation,” says Joel Granath, Senior Vice President and Head of Power Solutions at Scania.

Less fuel

Improved valve control, reduced internal friction and increased turbocharger efficiency all have a positive effect on fuel consumption. With the 13-liter engine, this means an improvement in fuel consumption of up to seven percent compared to the current generation – with the same performance. At full load, this corresponds to a saving of four liters of diesel per operating hour.

Biodiesel possible

As long as combustion engines are still in use, their impact on the climate must be reduced. “We want to do something for a sustainable future. Our position as a leading truck and bus manufacturer now also extends to the manufacture of industrial engines for power generation.” The units also meet the call for legal changes and are suitable for both 20% biodiesel and 100% HVO.

The overhaul interval is up to 25,000 operating hours. The features of the new design include more precise cooling, an optimized engine block, a structurally improved cylinder head and a more robust engine control with high-strength gears. “When developing the new platform, we paid attention to making the transition easier for our customers while positively influencing fuel efficiency and product performance,” says Henrik Nilsson, Director Product Management, Power Solutions at Scania.

Facts and figures

The 13-liter engine has an output of 368 to 450 kW and delivers up to 11 percent more power and 21 percent more torque compared to the engines of the current generation. The 11-liter engine has an output of 202 to 368 kW.
