9-litre engines and transmissions

Many transport operations don’t need big engines with high outputs. In such cases, our 9-litre units are ideal. However, even with more modest outputs, you still have to be confident that the engine is more than a match for the task. You still want the strength of a big engine that has an appetite for hard work.

230 Euro 4
230 9-litre: 230 hp (169 kW) at 1800 r/min
1050 Nm between 1100 and 1500 r/min

270 Euro 4
270 9-litre: 270 hp (199 kW) at 1800 r/min
1250 Nm between 1100 and 1450 r/min

310 Euro 4
310 9-litre: 310 hp (228 kW) at 1800 r/min
1550 Nm between 1100 and 1350 r/min

230 EEV
230 9-litre: 230 hp (169 kW) at 1900 r/m

1400 Nm between 1000 and 1350 r/m

By going to five cylinders, it is possible to exploit all the operational benefits of the Scania modular combustion concept to the full. The lower outputs are achieved with the engines at their absolute peak levels of efficiency and well within mandatory emission limits.

One less cylinder than the inline-six engines is not merely a matter of shortening the block and crankshaft, and removing a combustion chamber. Two specially designed balancer shafts have been added to the crankshaft to counter the forces generated by the five-cylinder firing sequence. As a result the engine runs more smoothly, giving a pleasing driving experience. Less vibration within the engine also promotes longer service life.

The superbly efficient combustion chambers have exactly the same engineering features of other Scania engines that have already proven to be a great success. You’ll get brisk performance, economic fuel consumption, easy driveability and inherently clean combustion.

Transmission options for the 9-litre series
Fuel-saving 5- or 6-speed ZF automatic gearboxes are available for all 9-litre engines. The 8-speed manual with Scania Opticruise and Scania Retarder is also available as an option. Our combined opticruise and retarder lever enables you to control both functions from the steering wheel with the tip of one finger. For the driver this means smoother, faster shifting and optimum fuel economy in all conditions. All for a more relaxed drive and better operating economy.
