V8 powertrain
The new V8 together with the new Scania Opticruise gearbox and a rear axle gear adapted for cruising on direct drive (gear 12) can give up to six percent in fuels savings.
As an example, a 590 hp truck in long haulage operations in a hilly topography can achieve savings in this range, whereby the engine will account for two percent, the gearbox for three percent and the rear axle for one percent*.
The wide gear ratio spread makes it possible to optimise the rear axle gear for low engine rpm in cruising speed, without compromising startability. This gives a high performing powertrain for a profitable and more sustainable business.

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.
