By elongating the cab, it has also increased the fuel capacity. Although bespoke smaller tanks are fitted on the side of the chassis, there are also two larger tanks fitted to the back of the cab. All together this increases the range by 13% over a 4x2 unit – meaning approximately 460 miles per refill.
Powering this truck is Scania’s latest 13-litre OC13 gas engines, which are a refinement of the previous generation, with the power outputs increased from a solitary 410hp option to 420hp and 460hp – aligning it closer with its diesel counterparts. These engines are also more fuel economical, have a ‘diesel-like’ torque curve and are prepared to meet future legal demands.
This 6x2*4 tractor unit is fitted with 460hp engine which produces 2,300Nm of torque, which puts it on par with its diesel sibling – just with the added bonus of a significant cut in CO2 emissions (up to 80%).
