SCANIA has boosted its range of industry leading 13-litre engines by introducing the brand new 540 hp version.
The new engine ‒ DC13 166 ‒ is primarily intended for applications which call for lots of power and drivability but where weight sensitivity or limitations (such as front-axle loads) hinder the use of Scania’s slightly heavier V8 engines which start at 520 hp.
“True to our promise to always tailor- make our offers, we identified a customer need for a top-of-the-line version of our 13-litre hero,” said Alexander Vlaskamp, Senior Vice President, Head of Scania Trucks. “Our inline six range is industry leading when it comes to fuel performance. Scania trucks with 13-litre engines have been crowned ‘Green Truck’ for three consecutive years in Germany, and that is a remarkable feat.”
Scania is now offering five different performance steps of its most common engine, the inline six: 370, 410, 450, 500 and 540 hp. The new 540 iteration shares most of its technology with its 500 hp siblings, like a robust fixed geometry turbo unit with ball bearings instead of journal bearings.

“The powerful 540 is mainly intended for customers and markets where legal aspects regarding front axle loads keep them from choosing a V8,” said Vlaskamp. “But it’s perfect for anyone that needs extra power in their transport operation.
“Paired with the relevant gearing, this engine will work equally well for a timber truck or for a ‘tulip express’. The latter travel European highways with rather light loads but are conscious about fuel consumption and average speeds.”
