Scania: truck drivers' favorite
And finally, Scania, which has been producing the legendary V8 since the 70s. The DC16 16.4 V8 engine is the most powerful commercially available, delivering up to 770 horsepower! Even the “smaller” versions of 530, 590 and 660 horsepower are breathtaking. And the weight? Little more than 3 tons, which is incredible for so much power.
So, who takes the trophy for best engines in Brazil?
After analyzing all this data, we conclude that the Scania takes the trophy for best engines. Even though it doesn't have the global presence of Mercedes, Scania has a greater variety of engines and offers the highest power on the market. The Scania 770 is the most powerful truck in the world and a true consumer dream!
There is the Volvo FH 780 and also the Shacman 840 HP
Got my **** too.
Mercedes Benz is the most reliable to withstand the pressure.
This is a fake text, I don't even know why I read this useless text, whoever wrote it doesn't know the automobile industry at all and doesn't even understand the brands mentioned, much less the engine.
I completely agree, biased text!
I also found it very biased and shallow. In fact, very weak.
KD or Cummins, Iveco, International, MWM, I personally think that Cummins has the best engines.
Does the Scania engine weigh 3 tons?? Where did the intern get this data from?
He put the engine and the sins together,,
usually someone pays to benefit.
From 1,3 Ton to 3 Ton just because v8 Cummins is the most used engine in the US. Volvo even uses it there and the guys there only have 8 manufacturers for them, so much so that the only one is Volvo because Pakar's account Freytluner is Mercedes Bens.
He only spoke the truth
It must be the complete powertrain, lol.
The engine of the Incredible Uno hits everyone. If there is a ladder on the roof then…
Uno has the strength of Volvo, the acceleration of Mercedes and the comfort of Scania, technology of Man, all in one.
