Scania's Latest Innovation: The Super 11 Engine
Scania has introduced its latest breakthrough in engine technology, the Super 11 engine, which promises to revolutionize high-performance transport. This new engine is not only compact but also delivers significant fuel savings, up to 7 percent, thanks to Scania's engineering expertise. Designed specifically for weight-sensitive and energy-efficient applications, the Super 11 engine extends the Super powertrain portfolio to meet diverse transport needs.
Key Features of the Super 11 Engine
The Super 11 is considerably lighter than its predecessor, the Super 13, at a reduction of 85 kg. It stands out by providing operators with multiple advantages, including enhanced efficiency and improved performance. Moreover, this engine allows for more flexibility in operations without sacrificing quality or reliability.
Performance Specifications
Available in three performance variants of 350, 390, or 430 horsepower, the Super 11 meets stringent Euro emission standards 4, 5, and 6. It shares 85% of its components with the highly reliable Super 13 engine, ensuring that Scania's robust engineering legacy continues while adapting to new operational demands.
Efficiency and Durability
The Super 11 engine has been designed with a focus on fuel economy and long-lasting durability. It offers longer maintenance intervals—opting for LDF-5 engine oil can extend these intervals by up to 30% compared to Scania's 9-litre engines. This improvement helps operators maximize uptime and minimize overall service costs.
Advanced Technology for Better Performance
Beneath its compact exterior, the Super 11 engine incorporates cutting-edge technologies developed through extensive testing. It features Scania's proprietary cam phaser technology for variable valve timing, which facilitates real-time engine thermal management and promotes optimal combustion performance. Enhanced with sophisticated software and balance shafts to reduce vibration, the Super 11 provides a smoother driving experience while boasting a robust engine brake capable of producing up to 344 kW via the Variable Valve Brake (VVB) system. Additionally, Scania's turbo dosing system optimizes AdBlue usage, further increasing fuel efficiency.
Sustainability Commitment
With its lightweight design and impressive fuel efficiency, the Super 11 engine not only improves operational performance but also enhances sustainability. Designed to run on both HVO and FAME fuels, it allows operators to decrease their environmental impact without the need for new infrastructure investments. This dual-fuel compatibility highlights Scania's commitment to supporting both operational efficiency and long-term sustainability goals.
Versatile Applications of the Super 11
Designed to excel across various transport sectors, the Super 11 is suitable for numerous applications:
- Tipper and bulk transport
- Fuel and volume goods transport
- Refuse collection and temperature-controlled transport
- General cargo movement
- Hooklift and flatbed operations with crane
- Recovery and firefighting vehicles
A New Era for Scania Engines
According to Ayyoob Zarmehri, Product Manager for Trucks Sales and Marketing at Scania, the Super 11 engine reflects the next generation of intelligent transport solutions. It embodies Scania's dedication to innovation, combining exceptional engineering with the adaptability required for modern transport needs. Whether operating within city limitations or on long-haul routes, the Super 11 engine is engineered to perform consistently and efficiently.
The Super 11 engine will officially enter the market soon, further advancing Scania's legacy as a leader in the transport sector.
