With the 11 litre Scania Super has doubled
With the Super 11 Scania has found a little brother to the Super 13 Three power ratings, 350, 390 and 430 hp
Designed for the truck, the Super shifts gears from 13 to 11 litres. After crossing the exciting 50% efficiency threshold on the road, the 13-litre has settled under the bonnets of industrial mobile applications, earning Diesel of the year 2023. It is now confirmed that Scania has extended the Super’s technological approach to the 11-litre 6-cylinder ‘friend’ of biofuels, being as compatible with both HVO and FAME.
Welcome on board, Scania Super 11
As with its bigger predecessor, Scania’s Super 11 is initially aimed for on-road applications, with an estimated 7% improvement in fuel consumption over the 9-litre, and 85 kilos less than the Super 13. “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,” says Ayyoob Zarmehri, Product Manager, Trucks Sales and Marketing at Scania.
Three ratings and a few tidbits
Available in three performance steps – 350 hp (1,800 Nm), 390 hp (2,000 Nm) and 430 hp (2,200 Nm) – the Super 11 complies with Euro 4, 5 and 6 emission standards. It delivers performance across a wide range of transport applications, from urban logistics to regional haulage. The Super 11 also benefits from sharing 85% of its components with the tried and tested Super 13 engine, maintaining Scania’s engineering DNA while being tailored to a different operational fit. Maintenance intervals are up to 30% longer than Scania’s 9-litre engines when using LDF-5 engine oil, which helps operators increase uptime and reduce overall service costs. The 11 liters Diesel 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 344 kW 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 engine will be available for purchase from June 2025.
