Just a few days ago, the "King of Highways" Scania released a blockbuster news, launched a new power platform and product updates, and the new "Super" series models were officially unveiled in front of the eyes of card friends and fans around the world.
In this product update, Scania not only re-enabled the naming method of "Super", but also launched a new 13L engine, a new AMT transmission and a rear axle led by the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle Group (Traton), which can be described as a highlight.
Before Xiaobian also took everyone to quickly browse again, then today, Xiaobian will take you to learn more about what kind of ability Scania Super has!
The upgrade of the powertrain is the focus of this major update of Scania, the new diesel engine launched by Scania is the product of the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle Group led by the development of the actual displacement of 12.74 liters, the horsepower section covers 420 hp to 560 hp, the engine compression ratio is 23:1, and the peak pressure in the cylinder reaches 250 bar during the combustion stroke.
It is understood that in the future, in addition to Scania, Mann and other Volkswagen commercial vehicle companies will also be equipped with this engine.
Compared with the previous generation, this new engine features a new injector and an optimized fuel pump design, while important components such as engine crankshafts, turbines, and manifold interfaces have been optimized, and the technical life has been increased by 30%.
It is worth mentioning that Scania's latest "Twin SCR" dual SCR system will inject urea in two stages during the exhaust gas catalysis process to ensure that the tail gas path is smooth. Not only can the performance of the engine be guaranteed, but also adapted to the vehicle's emission standards of "Euro 6" or higher.
In addition, Scania is also equipped with a new CRB system, that is, an enhanced engine braking system, which can effectively meet the needs of vehicle deceleration in plain areas, and if there are more working conditions in the mountains, Scania also provides optional retarders, exhaust brakes and other auxiliary braking devices to jointly ensure the safety of vehicle operation.
In addition to the engine, Scania also released a new model of the G25CM 12-gear hand automatic aluminum shell transmission, compared with the old gearbox, this gearbox has achieved a weight reduction of 60 kg.
The transmission meets the requirements of Scania's low-speed engines with technologies such as overhead oil pans, faster pneumatic actuators, electronic synchronizers, low-viscosity transmission fluids, etc. to reduce internal friction and achieve wider transmission effects.
The rear axle components are the focus of this major update of Scania, this time Scania released a new R756 single machine reduction bridge, according to the different operational needs of users to provide a total of 8 different speed ratios of the rear axle, the back axle speed ratio from the lowest 1.95 to 4.11.
At the same time, the iconic "pointed shaft" design of the Scania axle head was also eliminated on the new R756 bridge. Moreover, this new rear axle has fewer parts, which is not only more convenient for post-maintenance, but also has a prominent economic effect.
It is understood that this power chain can rely on the blessing of Scania's on-board power system and other technologies to achieve the organic combination of engine, gearbox and rear axle, which can achieve almost seamless power transmission. Scania said the new powertrain could save customers about 8 percent on fuel consumption for long-haul shipping.
Models equipped with Scania's new power chain have returned to the "Super" logo at the top of the body and in the grille position, and the naming of the vehicle has also changed from the previous model in front of the horsepower (such as the Scania G500) to the front model in the front model and the rear (as shown in the Scania 560S).
In terms of interiors, Scania offers individual modifications for interior materials, colour schemes, seating and sleeper layouts. And to provide users with the choice of electronic rearview mirrors, this electronic rearview mirror system was named "SMVC" system by Scania, using telephoto + wide-angle camera to fill the blindness.
As can be seen from the official picture, unlike other vehicles set on the top of the sides of the body, Scania has set the electronic rearview mirrors to a lower height, placed in the window position, and supports the electronic rearview mirror folding function to further improve the vehicle's passability.
In addition to the powertrain, the exterior and interior have been updated, Scania has also updated the chassis system of the vehicle, using the new MACH modular chassis architecture to make the chassis layout more flexible and changeable, which may be arranged according to the individual and diverse needs of users.
The vehicle adopts a new "D" type fuel tank design, fuel tank volume from 165L-700L specifications, while the low-pressure fuel pump, fuel coarse filter and oil-water separator are concentrated in a single fuel optimization unit, bringing higher efficiency, it is understood that its new products can be suitable for HVO second-generation biodiesel, of which there are two power segments of the product to support ordinary biodiesel.
