Fuel hauler here. Super singles on fuel trucks are a recipe for disaster. I had a coworker at a previous company blow a drive tire out heading around a curve on I-40 between Knoxville and Crossville and he almost rolled his truck. They're also terrible for traction in the wet and snow. I think they do it for fuel savings or something of the sort, but they are a safety hazard when they blow out, unlike normal duals.

He’s a far better recipe for modern trucking , forget double drive have doubles on the drive axle and a rear axle on super singles that’s both steering and lifting when empty or running light..The traction in snow with a load on is at minimum equal to a double drive as long as the axle can transfer the weight to the drive axle …Double drive are not fit for purpose for normal highway use , I can understand in some quarries or landfill sites but they are not a good use of resources…Europeans are light years ahead of the US in transportation including railroad , double drives are not used on European highways unless heavy haulage purposes…

9 mpg is a tad pessimistic unless you're talking UK mpg not US mpg (I absolutely hate British units just for how confusing they are). The fuel economy is going to be a lot worse in the US regardless because of the longer trailers and how little they extend past the kingpin (bad for aerodynamics) coupled with the higher speed limits. You could argue the long flat roads would make it better but it's still going to suck compared to what you get in Europe.

This engine is the completely new "DW" engine, "Scania Super", which comes with a single cylinder head, double camshaft, and a very high compression ratio in the cylinders (23:1), higher than Volvo, Mercedes (Detroit Diesel), Iveco, and DAF (Paccar). Its emissions level is Euro 6. Here in Brazil, the fuel economy it has shown is truly impressive, on average 20% more than the competition, without losing in torque and average speed performance. Here in Brazil, they are being offered in powers of 420, 460, 500, and 560 hp. Combined with the new Opticruise G25 gearboxes (for engines up to 2500 Nm of torque) and G33 (up to 3300 Nm of torque), which are lighter, more robust, and feature lay shaft brake technology, which means that gear changes are carried out in 0.4 seconds. It was expected that due to the purchase of Navistar by the Traton Group (which already owns truck brands such as Scania, MAN, and Volkswagen Caminhões), it would lead to the sharing of components between the brands. Believe me, you will gain a lot with the addition of the Scania powertrain there in America.

When I was a tech for the local dealer, Doosan (now Develon) at one point used Scanias for their larger wheel loaders & excavators and both ADT models. We were also a Wirtgen dealer before Nortrax stole the dealership title. But we didn't see too many of them because sales didn't push the product like they could have. They seemed like they were more focused on selling mills and pavers than anything. Central maine is also an area where not a ton of construction happens compared to other states.

Actually, this is not a 'pure' Scania engine. The official name is the Traton Common Base Engine (CBE). It is true that the first steps in the design of the engine were made by Scania, but later on MAN also got involved. So it is a joined development between Scania and MAN. You may know MAN has an enormous experience in diesel engine design, truck engines are just a part of their diesel engine portfolio. The also produce huge marine diesel engines for instance. This 13 litre engine will be produced locally all over the world, in different versions. It will be used by Scania, MAN, Volkswagen, and Navistar.

My old boss got straight hosed by that stealership a few years ago. 😂

Former intern here, the S13 powertrain I think stems from the Maxxforce debacle from early 2010. Basically from what I remember is that Navistar took a different approach to controlling emissions instead of standardizing to SCR in order to reduce production costs. Although that sorta bit them in the foot by expending their energy credits. This probably came up since Navistar was under the Traton (people at corporate pronounced it as Tray-ton) group and they needed powertrains other than the standard Cummins they were offering at the time. Considering the new facelift for the IC bus line, I'm assuming that is one of the other applications for the joint Scania/MAN powertrain.

I’d love to see one of those international lonestars souped up and customized! Always thought those looked cool.

This could be the future of drivetrains in fire apparatus. The L9 and X12 are going away leaving the X15 or new X10 for Cummins. Detroit and Paccaar are the only other options. This seems like a good alternative.

Yup, Volkswagen bought International Harvester only a few years ago, but they’ve owned Scania since the first decade of the millennium (invested in 2000, gained majority in 2008). Traton is just a fairly recent rebranding of VW’s truck & bus division, and Traton Group remains a wholly owned subsidiary of VAG.

In Brazil this engine is pushing 420, 460, 500 and 560 Hp in 2350 a 2800 Nm of torque.

Oh, and Scania brought me to the channel (the vid at Ylivoimala was the first I watched I think) and I like it. A lot.

That rear geartrain on the engine drives all of the gear driven accessories to the back of the engine. That works fine in a cabover, but not in American truck. We went through this with the Ford / Navistar engines in the pickups that were designed with Mann help. All of those geartrains were in the back too and it made oil pump, fuel pump impossible without lifting cabs. Hope they have a solution here...otherwise service costs will be significant compared to the engines with front mounted gears.

Had super singles on the front of my Scania crane lorry for 23 years and no problems, just buy a decent make of tyre.

Not sure how the super single axles are rated weightwise, compared to a regular double mount, but fuel is lighter than most other liquids, so just as much a game of having room for it, as accommodating the weight. The super singles are for sure lighter than the double mount, and also eliminates the risk of rocks and stuff getting stuck between the wheels, either causing a blowout or slamming it up in the tank.

Closest thing my family has to International is an old 90's Case IH 😅

That's is the dash and truck I drive everyday at work. Only mine has the X15 mated to the T14 transmission.

I helped changed of the first flywheel housings in that engine in the us. Yes, that plate is a pto mounting plate. There is also an option to run a pto off the back of the rear gear train. Very interesting stuff.

That same engine and transmission is also used in MAN trucks. The rear gear train is because in Scania and MAN trucks they're all cabovers. Hopefully the lack of EGR will help the reliability. In europe they're mainly running in MAN trucks since outside of Sweden you're going to see about 5 MAN trucks for every Scania. And in Sweden you're going to see about 3 Volvos for every Scania.

You guys dont have the retarder, which is nice. So the way you remove it is quite simple. You disconnect the air hose, 2-3 cables and one or 2 cooling hoses. You support the transmission and unbolt the rear mount from underneath. Lower the whole package on a support that you insert between the front axle springs and let the engine rest on that. Remove 12 nuts holding the engine and transmission together. And then remove the clutch actuator and the fork. Split them apart. Takes less than 3 hours after some experience. A retarder ads 2 extra hoses and the need to drain engine coolant. Also, the driveshaft gets removed and hanged on the chassi using 4 bolts and a simple strap.

As a Scania man.. I can hear the 12V system... No but jokes aside, this truck has basically been in Sweden and touched by Scania. Probably getting better with time too. And for those that dont know. Traton is the name Volkswagen calls its heavy vehicles brands. Its also its separate company under VW lead. The CEO of Traton is however at this moment, also the CEO of Scania. This effectivly means that Scania is heading Traton as of now.

Super singles bring two benefits, one being significantly reduced unladen weight and due to reduced footprint on the ground less rolling resistance therefore better fuel usage. There are negatives, you take your choice. Fuel hauling weight really matters.

Great video Bruce

I am super-single-pilled. Less rubber, less wheel, same weight limits. You get better fuel economy from decreased rolling resistance, and you get a little more payload from the weight savings. Checking pressures and adding air to the tires is a lot quicker and easier, since you have half as many tires to check and all of the valve stems are easily accessible. You'll be punished if you don't take care of them though. If you dont stay on top of the tire pressures and beat them up on curbs and stuff, replacing them is PRICEY. They're not quite double the price of a regular truck tire, and any flat or blowout on the road is a guaranteed road call since you can't limp with a flat. If they blow, they blow BIG, often damaging other parts in the process like shearing off the mudflap hanger, breaking plastic fenders, or popping airbags. In my experience they handle great in rain & snow; they're a bear to chain up, but the only place I ever got stuck was in deep mud, never any issues in snow. If you dont put in spacers you can get a slightly narrower footprint which makes them a little less stable when cornering but allows for some very silly extreme aero kits covering the drives and trailer tandems, though those did not catch on the way FlowBelows have for the same purpose.

@@BFT88 With Supers you can't limp PERIOD. Even if you pull over right away after a blowout the rim must also often be replaced. Companies I've seen that use them on trailers often include a spare tire already mounted to a spare rim in the rack under the trailer.

I hope International is going to to do really good with this one!🙂,but we have to give it some time to prove itself. Maxxforce,N13,A26 didn't do "very well",so time will tell😁

@Bruce Wilson - I would love to see you put a Scania V8 into like an American truck? Maybe a Cabover? Maybe in a Peterbilt 389 or 361? That would be a amazing restomod.

That would be challenging for legal reasons.

If you are going to order it you should get a hx with s 13

supposedly for fuel economy and weight thats why the back tires are single

Bruce even whith the new freightliner automatics that you guys have saw when you where transporting last time those are mercedes actros transmissions we have been using them from long ago this side on the mercedes benz actros

Hi Bruce awesome truck every one that I know will never drive a truck with super single tires on the rear living in Canada not very good in the snow

5:16 The 540 engine is the one with six cylinders. S or R are the dimensions of the cabs... So, the six-cylinder ones are the following: 370, 410, 450, 500 and 540. And the V8 ones are 530, 590, 660 and 770.

Inline 6 - 540, v8 - 530? 770?

@@udififkfkfck Yes, but the inline 6 have 12 liters and the V8 16 liters. The V8 ones have more torque at low rpm, and I think the power is limited by the software. I drove both and I can say that the V8 is clearly superior.

I honestly don't see the point in being so excited about this truck being as though it's not a V8 Scania, and you're not pulling a load to get the full effect of this I6 version! I have to admit that I'm a little jealous of the Scanias in Europe. It's so not fair that they get to have V8s while the big American trucks get I6 motors, especially our long hood trucks. If we want to have a V8, we have to find an old truck with a 3408 CAT, and what are the chances of finding a 3408? You can barely find a 3406 these days. Then, if you do find a 3408, would it be easy to get parts for it? Do they even still make parts for it? I love the 3406b, but what scares me about it is finding parts! I'd love to own a 3406b or a 3408, though! I wonder if there are different models of the 3408, like an A, B, C, D, etc.? I also wonder whether the 3408 is mechanical? I don't know much about it, except that it exists!

I'm not a scania guy or an international guy by any means, but I've been very fascinated about the s13 since international announced this setup. I personally think it'll bring international back on the map even though I'll never own one lol!

I found a 1974 Marmon COE automatic trans .I'll talk to man see if he'd let you do a will it start. I'm sure he'll be cool I'll check. Maybe stop on a trip to or from Florida?

A little thing I noticed is when you pulled out of the dealership you nonchalantly reached for the non-existent shifter LOL.

Yes, that made the cameraman very happy.

Yep it does sound like a Scania engine.

770 v8 has entered the chat.
