HEAVY DUTY
PERFORMANCE CAN BE TAILORED
to a wide variety of needs and all servicing can be
handled via the Scania service network. Scania’s strongest components combine into a highly
efficient and competitive tractor with numerous configuration options.
The new family of heavy-haulage tractors can be specified with Scania’s most powerful
3500Nm and 730hp 16.4-litre V8, Scania’s extra heavy-duty overdrive gearbox, Scania
Opticruise automated gearchanging, nine or 10-ton front and tag axles, 32-ton hub reduction
tandem bogie, drum or disc brakes, air suspension or parabolic leaf springs and heavy-duty
flitched frame. The 8x4 version is ready to take on gross train weights of up to 180 or 250
tons, depending on the choice of axles, local regulations, etc.
Scania’s V8 engine is offered in outputs from 520hp. An interesting option for some applications
is Scania’s new 13-litre inline six-cylinder engine, with up to 2550Nm and 490hp, an engine
renowned for its high torque-to-power ratio.
Engines are available that comply with emission levels Euro 6/5/4/3 and EEV, as well as Japanese
regulations, all based on a common platform with uniform architecture, that simplifies servicing
and parts supply.
The mechanical transmission, without torque converter, makes the powertrain highly efficient with
excellent fuel economy in tough conditions. The 12+2-speed overdrive gearbox has twin crawler
gears for easy starting, yet provides main road cruising at reasonable engine revs. Sophisticated
clutch control allows smooth starts to be accomplished with minimum slip. A special manoeuvring
mode offers control with millimetre precision. A torque converter gearbox is offered as an option.
Six, eight and ten-wheelers are offered. Steered tag axles can be specified in front of or behind
the bogie. The compact rear axle set-up allows the wheelbase to be as short as 3300mm on
the four-axle. All-wheel-drive 6x6 and 8x8 can be specified (8x8 to special order). Front and
rear trailer couplings can be specified.
Sleeper cabs
Heavy-haulage tractors are often specified with high-roof sleeper cabs, such as the Scania
Topline, partly for comfort and partly to connect naturally to the special rack behind the cab
housing hydraulics, air tanks, fuel and other specialised equipment. Lower and shorter cabs
are available, including flat-roof cabs designed to maximise space above the cab to carry an
overhead crane, for example. The high-mounted R-series cab range is mandatory in combination
with the V8 engine, whereas the medium-high G-series is an option with 6-cylinder engines.
A bonus is the comprehensive use of parts and components out of the Scania modular
toolbox, components that are familiar to any Scania service workshop. All parts are available
via the 1600-strong global Scania service network.
Heavy-
haulage
tractors
with AMT
The new heavy-haulage
tractors that can take on
GTWs of up to 250 tons are
based on components from
Scania’s standard modular
product range. They involve
significant savings in initial
investment, as well as gains
in repair and maintenance
cost and uptime for heavy-
haulage professionals.
