Just six months after launching the game-changing 13-litre Super powertrain for people transport, Scania has returned with a brand-new 11-litre option – the Super 11 – that is suitable for operations within both the Urban and Travel segments. According to Scania the new Super 11’s includes potential fuel savings of 10 percent, much longer engine lifespan, improved serviceability and compatibility with renewable fuels, and better braking power.
The new Super 11 extends Scania’s portfolio providing further alternatives for people transport operators. It will be relevant for a wide range of operators, including companies running urban routes and longer inter-city routes. Scania states the Super 11 is much more fuel-efficient than the nine-litre, and with output options of 350, 390 and 430 hp, it has the power to also handle certain applications in which the 13-litre is currently used. Part of ten percent fuel savings savings comes from the inclusion of Variable Valve Braking (VVB). VVB combines the compression release brake technology from the new 13-litre engines with the cam phaser technology from the new Super 11, creating an impressive braking power of up to 350kW. Depending on the operating conditions, Variable Valve Braking can replace the retarder, saving a massive 80kg in weight. The new Super 11 is compatible with the renewable fuels HVO and biodiesel (FAME). The 11 litre engine has a longer engine lifespan of up to two million kilometres. Serviceability is improved because the oil and fuel filters have been positioned next to each other on the cold side of the engine, rather than the positioning on the warm side that is the case with its predecessors. In addition to this, new rear axles and auxiliary brakes bring better performance and handling, while a new aftertreatment system (with twin SCR for Euro 6) offers excellent fuel savings and increased uptime.
