The INSANE Truth Why SCANIA Made The V8 Engine

[Music] Scania a Swedish company that makes big trucks and buses is known for making engines with strong V8s these engines show how much the company cares about quality speed and coming up with new ideas but why did Scania make such strong engines in the first place in this video we will investigate the craziness that lies at the heart of scania's choice to develop the V8 engine the Scania V8 engine is more than just an engine in the European trucking business it stands for power efficiency and new ideas the V8 engine was made to meet the needs of the industry and set Scania apart from its Rivals from the start the V8 engine has become an icon off the road because of how it sounds and how well it works Scania didn't stop there though the company keeps coming up with new ideas and improving the V8 engine by adding new technologies that make it better for the environment and last longer find out the insane facts and reasons why Scania made the V8 engine and how it has changed the tracking business in Europe one of the main reasons Kenya made the V8 engine was to meet the needs of the tracking business in Europe trucks are used for long distance travel in Europe and they often have to carry big loads for long distances this needs a strong engine that can give the truck the horsepower it needs to move quickly the V8 engine was made to meet these needs and give trucking companies the power they needed to do their jobs the V8 engine is a powerful High Performance Engine that is made to give the horsepower and torque needed to pull big loads over long distances the engine is one of the most powerful ones on the market because it can make up to 730 horsepower and 3 500 Newton meter of torque Scania trucks can keep up high speeds on highways climb steep hills and make tight turns in narrow roads because of this power one of the best things about the V8 engine is that it works well the engine is made to last a long time and can handle even diverse circumstances in the trucking business where downtown time can be expensive this dependability is very important Scania trucks with V8 engines can run for a long time without needing repair as often this helps keep costs down and make sure that trucks are always ready to go when they are needed the V8 engine is also good because it doesn't use a lot of gas even though it has a lot of horsepower and speed the V8 engine is fairly good at using gas this is because of its high-tech design which includes a variable geometry turbocharger common rail fuel injection and the recycling of waste gas because of these features the V8 engine is an environmentally friendly choice for trucking companies because it uses less Fuel and puts out less pollution when Scania decided to make the V8 engine it ran into some problems it wasn't easy to make a strong Engine with the right amount of horsepower and torque that was also stable and good on gas but scania's Engineers were up to the challenge and were able to make an engine that was better than any anyone had hoped for one of the best things about the V8 engine is how it sounds the engine makes a sound that is only made by Scania trucks it is a deep throaty growl this sound has become a bit of a symbol for the company and it's one reason why truck fans like Scania trucks so much Scania decided to make the V8 engine because they wanted to make it easier for truck drivers to drive long hours on the road can be hard but a strong engine can make a difference in how comfortable and happy the driver is the V8 engine runs smoothly and has a lot of power which makes it fun to drive even in tough circumstances in addition to being powerful and good at what it does the V8 engine is also made to last Scania has been working for a long time to reduce its carbon footprint and make shipping options that are better for the environment the V8 engine has modern Technologies like selective catalytic reduction and exhaust gas recirculation which help to lower emissions and improve fuel economy Scania has won a number of awards for its commitment to sustainability including the European truck fuel efficiency award in 2017. scania's work on the V8 engine was a big deal it took a lot of study and testing to make an engine that could meet the needs of the European trucking business Scania made the first V8 engine in 1969. since then the company has kept tweaking and improving the engine to keep up with changes in the industry today the V8 engine can be found in a wide range of Scania trucks from heavy duty haulers to high performance race tracks dedication to Quality and new ideas has made the V8 engine a trait the trucking companies and workers both want people who want the best from their cars will choose this engine because of how well it runs how it sounds and how technologically advanced it is scania's commitment to sustainability has also made the V8 engine a better choice for the environment by reducing pollution and making it use less fuel since the 1960s when it was first made the Scania V8 engine has gone through a lot of changes and improvements to keep it as a powerful and reliable engine Scania has always put money into research and development to improve the speed and fuel economy of its V8 engine while lowering emissions Scania has also added new technologies to the V8 engine to meet changing industry Trends and customer needs one of these Technologies is the common rail fuel injection system this system is meant to give the engine a more exact and efficient fuel injection the common drill system makes it easier to control how much fuel goes into the engine this makes the engine more fuel efficient reduces pollution and runs better scania's V8 engine also has a computer-controlled unit which controls tanks like the time of the fuel injection the amount of air that goes into the end and the amount of pollution that comes out of it Scania has also added turbochargers and intercoolers to the V8 engine to improve its speed even more the power of the engine is increased by turbochargers which work by compressing the air that goes into the engine and sending it to the engine at a higher speed intercoolers on the other hand help cool the compressed air this makes the air denser and gives it more oxygen which makes the engine run better in addition to making the V8 engine run better Scania has also worked to make it less harmful to the Earth the company has put money into making engines that meet the new Euro emission standards these standards limit how much pollution can be put into the air Scania has also added Technologies like selective catalytic reduction and exhaust gas recirculation which help decrease dangerous pollution like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter scania's dedication to improving and coming up with new ideas has made the V8 engine an important part of its brand Scania has built a loyal customer base in the trucking business thanks to the V8 engine's reputation for reliability power and economy truck drivers and trucking companies trust scania's V8 engine to give them the speed and efficiency they need to get the job done Scania has also won a number of awards and recognitions for its commitment to improving and coming up with new ideas all the time the company has been praised for its environmentally friendly engine design in 2012 the UK's low carbon vehicle partnership called it green truck manufacturer of the Year Scania has also been praised for its approach to safety for example the European new car Assessment program gave top safety scores to several of its trucks the creation of scr technology was a big step forward for the V8 engine it makes it possible for the engine to meet strict emission rules without losing speed selective catalytic reduction is a technique that uses a fluid called diesel exhaust fluid to cut down on nitrogen oxide pollution from the engine when the engine's exhaust gases go through the scr system they meet the def which breaks down the harmful nox into nitrogen and water vapor scr technology is now an important part of all current diesel engines even the V8 engine more and more people want heavy duty cars to have less pollution so trucking companies are looking for engines that need the latest pollution Rules by using scr technology the V8 engine has stayed competitive on the market and had less of an effect on the environment Scania has not only made the V8 engine work with the scr technology but also with other fuels biodiesel which is made from food oils animal fats or used cooking oil can be used to power the engine biodiesel is better for the environment than regular diesel fuel because it releases less carbon into the air the V8 engine can also run on HBO which stands for hydro treated vegetable oil HBO is similar to biodiesel but it is made through a process called Hydro treatment which gets rid of impurities and makes a better fuel Scania shows its commitment to sustainability and cutting its carbon footprint by making the V8 engine work with different fuels as governments around the world make pollution rules tougher and offer incentives for using alternative fuels trucking companies will look for engines that can meet these standards scania's choice to make the V8 engine work with biofuel and HBO makes it a good option for tracking companies that care about the environment scania's creation of the V8 engine was a big deal for the European trucking business it made the trucks more efficient reliable and Powerful it also gave them a sound that has come to be associated with Scania trucks Scania is a leader in the truck making business because it keeps coming up with new ideas and works hard to be environmentally friendly whether you drive a truck or just like big rigs the V8 engine shows how powerful Tech and new ideas can be I guess this is enough information for you guys and now get to know why Scania created these engines
