The Scania opticruise gearbox

Scania’s new Opticruise G38CM and G38CH gearboxes, available for the highest output V8 770 hp engine, feature improved and speedy gearshifting in combination with lower fuel consumption and excellent comfort.

 

After six years of development and testing, we are introducing a gearbox with plenty of new technologies, such as variable oil volume, improved gear lubrication by oil spray function and a wider gear spread.

 

Thanks to significantly reduced internal losses, and thereby improved energy efficiency, the gearbox itself offers fuel savings of one percent. The weight has been reduced by 60 kg to be used for increased payload. Additionally, it provides higher uptime with an oil change interval of up to one million km. All this to ensure that your total operating economy is optimised.

The Scania Opticruise gearboxes G33CM, G33CH, G38CM and G38CH are available for V8 engines up to 770 hp as well as the high-out­put 13-litre between 500 and 560 hp engines.
