Scania releases new Super 11 engine

A seven per cent fuel efficiency gain as well as other engineering innovations define the new Scania Super 11 engine.

According to the manufacturer, the Super 11, which will be released in Australia next year, expands the Super powertrain portfolio especially for weight-sensitive and energy-efficient applications.

Positioned between the established 9-litre and 13-litre engine platforms, the Super 11 offers up to seven per cent improved fuel efficiency compared with Scania’s current 9-litre engine, and is 85 kg lighter than the Super 13 engine.

This allows transport operators to increase their payloads in weight-critical operations without compromising on power, fuel efficiency or reliability.

“This engine opens new possibilities for energy-efficient and cost-effective transport. It’s lighter, leaner and more flexible, yet it still carries the strength and reliability for which Scania is known. It’s a smart choice for operators who need to balance performance, payload and sustainability in their daily work,” said Ayyoob Zarmehri, Product Manager, Scania Trucks Sales and Marketing.

Available in three power ratings – 350hp (1,800 Nm), 390hp (2,000 Nm) and 430hp (2,200 Nm) – the Super 11 complies with Euro 4, 5 and 6 emission standards.

The Super 11 also benefits from sharing 85 per cent of its components with the Super 13 engine, maintaining Scania’s engineering DNA while being tailored to a different operational fit.

Maintenance intervals are up to 30 per cent longer than Scania’s 9-litre engines when using LDF-5 engine oil, which helps operators increase uptime and reduce overall service costs.

The Super 11 features various key improvements that are the result of years of testing of technical innovations.

The new engine is equipped with Scania’s own cam phaser technology for variable valve timing, enabling real-time engine thermal management and improved combustion performance.

This is combined with new engine software and balance shafts for reduced vibration and a robust engine brake, which offers up to 344kW through Scania’s Variable Valve Brake (VVB) system. It all adds up to an engine that delivers a smoother, more comfortable driving experience.

Scania’s patented turbo dosing system also improves AdBlue usage and further enhances engine efficiency.

The Super 11 is compatible with both HVO and FAME. This enables operators to lower their emissions footprint without investing in new infrastructure — a solution that supports both operational goals and long-term sustainability targets.

“The Super 11 engine represents the next generation of intelligent transport, said Zarmehri.

“It combines the best of Scania’s engineering with the efficiency and adaptability that today’s operators demand. Whether in the city or out on longer routes, this engine is built to perform – mile after mile.”
