- This historical film tells the story of why Scania developed the first Scania V8 engine, the DS14, in the 1960s. When the Swedish authorities raised the speed limit and maximum gross weight permitted for heavy trucks, it created the need for a new, more powerful engine. Scania's engineers met that need with the now-legendary 350 horsepower V8 engine. More than half a century later, the Scania V8 remains a powerful tool for the most demanding transport operations. This is where that legend began.

I started driving in the early seventies and within a short while I was on international work...I drove Volvo F89s and Scalia 140s, both great trucks and light years ahead of rest...The Volvos were nice trucks to drive and very comfy for the time, but the Scania was just that step further bigger cab but not as comfortable...I remember parking for the night in Germany at an Autohof Volvo F89 ,so good meal and a few beers and off to bed...Well nature took its course and I woke up to water the horse at about 3am, and got out in just my underpants I knew I wouldn’t be long as I was parked beside a grassy strip...So job done and went to get back in the cab, it was about minus 6c when I pushed the button on the door handle the f#####g thing was frozen solid...Panic stations set in , the thought of going into the Autohof garage section dressed as I was did not appeal🙈...Luckily I thought of the towing pin in the front bumper, I took this out and whacked the button and luckily it opened I had to start the engine to warn the cab and thaw me out🌞...So here we are in 2020 and I still do international work with my own truck now it’s a Volvo FH540 6 Axles with a reefer, although I might get an S650 Scania next time...Thankfully I only work 8 months of the year taking April through July off, I carry Mussels from Ireland to Holland load fruit/vegetables/flowers back to Ireland...5 day week with no stress as it’s an easy run, but not bad for a guy of 68...I did retire but got bored and While I don’t need the money as I’ve good pensions it’s nice to keep active...This film has been enlightening for me and brought back many memories...
Interesting story thanks for sharing.
Respect from Brasil brother.
I’ve been driving a 1976 Mercedes Benz T2 back in 2008 with a mirrored half synchronised gearbox and trailer for a danish company and it wasn’t without problems. Once I was stopped for some diesel and a break and the S+^*%ing fuel tank just dropped straight to the floor as I was refuelling so I took some cargo straps and mounted the s*^#%ing tank back on the frame of the truck. I don’t like Mercedes but the comfort was top notch. I’ve also had some clutch problems in terms of I was boarding the ferry from Germany to Denmark and the clutch pedal went to the floor and I had to stop and get towed off the ramp and spend the weekend in Germany. I’ve now stopped driving trucks but I miss it the freedom and to see new places and people every day. But you Dermont are a legend hats off to you. I wish the time you could sit down and talked to a fellow trucker over a meal comes back nowadays everything is about stress and to do as many stops as possible in a day.
ok boomer.
True hero💪
Did someone noticed that some of the shots in this film were taken before the "Högertrafikomläggningen"?
(September of 1967 I guess)
I think this is also an interesting aspect of this film.
I noticed that. I was wondering about it. I was a boy when I read about the change-over taking place in Sweden at noon one day.
Yes it was the 3:rd of September 1967 at 05:00 am Sunday morning it was done. At 04:50 all vehicles travelling on the roads of Sweden should pull over and stop at the left where safe. Then at 05:00 they where allowed to be on their way on the right side this time and it been like that for years now.
@@minidriversouthsweden5137 Evidently the newspaper article I was reading in America had it wrong in at least one detail.
First thing I noticed :)
MottyGlix What was that if I may ask?
The thinking behind large truck's power is not about top speed but only for good average speed on hilly terrain. I like this.
Trucks in Indonesia don't have much power to tackle hills at decent speed. Mostly they only have 190-250 PS and
well there is a solution, dump the shit engines and get a caterpillar c16 turbo diesel crate engine
Jeez. I and thought 215 hp with only 13 tons was awful!
220ps 637Nm with 7.5 axle ratio, can pull 30 tonnes payload 🤣
Ratio make the truck run, come see how we do it in jamaica
@Ben T. yeah they run the engines to their limit nearly all the time. thing is the government doesn't really regulate it, and so we get these underpowered trucks going overloaded everywhere. If you want to see some ridiculous examples you can check out the channel Sitinjau Lauik Truck Videos, there's some pretty crazy things there.
Don’t forget it sounds amazing🥵🥵
Also their powerful💪😎

One of the best internal combustion engines ever made, seen them at 2 million km still running well.
You do know that's a diesel
@@plymouth-hl20ton37 Diesels are internal combustion engines.
Ed Carl lol 😂
what about 8mil km cat engines?
Cat spits on these lol
I’m 3 mins in and struggling how
Velocity x garden shed + (hot blonde + Bjorn (in garden shed possibly doing rumpy)) + stopwatch = V8
airindiana you lost me at Bjorn 😍 I can already imagine him slowly emptying his throbbing meat club into the beautiful blonde Agnes. Meanwhile, outside the shed, the sun sets under the beautiful Swedish sky. Oh, Sweden, how you make my blood boil.
The V8 could not have failed under these extraordinary circumstances.
@@xSCHEF meat club lol, I'm using that 😷
I think the missing element is that Agnes has a split diff.
@airindiana Unless you're only joking, I can still give a short explanation. They put observers in the shed in the back, to inform the people in the truck cabin when a car was about to pass the truck. They counted the number of cars passing by and the time it took to pass the truck, also if the car driving by did so in a dangerous manner. They started a truck once every hour and drove for 300km.
The conclusions of the traffic tests were that trucks driving too slow, especially uphill, disturbed the rhytm of the traffic too much and that it would increase traffic safety if the trucks had stronger and better engines. A stronger engine would ensure maintained speed even in slopes. Increased torque also meant the drivers didn't have to shift gears as much. This also helped the traffic rhytm in heavy traffic inside cities.
All in all, stronger truck engines with better torque would both ensure better traffic safety and as a bonus create faster hauling missions.
@@kakburk6253 I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but I feel fairly certain 'airindiana' was, in fact, joking.
Volvo and Scania are light years ahead of everyone else. The others only think of low Co2 at plain highway while Volvo and Scania (with 700+hp engines) make reliable engines that lasts and can pull you up any hill with a fully loaded 62 ton road train with relative ease. A smaller and less powerful engine will release less dangerous gasses but a 12 or 13L I6 with les than 500hp is just not enough to reliable pull a 62ton (or 64 ton) lumber truck up the hills of smaller gravel roads in the middle of the forest, where I live. You need at least 600hp to make it and to keep a higher average speed. A low power engine will ultimately cause more harm to the environment than a high power engine if they were both to drive the same narrow gravel road with a full load because of slower speeds so the engine is running for way much longer and has to fight way much more to be able to make it up steep hills. Even driving a Volvo FH440 home was a challenge and many times I had to shift down to 2 1/2 to be able to make it up the hills (this truck only weighed 23 tons then and without a trailer) but with a Scania R580, R730 and a Volvo FH540 it as not a problem and they ran smoothly.
In very hard hauling, only MAN/Mercedes matters.
In small local construction sites there is almost no scania 3/4 series and TONS OF Mighty MAN F90/F2000 mate.
Scania is just trash talking and medicore vehicles with rusting frames.
Finland 76 tones
What i like most about the video is the test method! No large expansive studies that take years, just put a garden shed on the back of the truck and look how many people overtake at 50kph and how many overtake at 70kph. Nice, cheap and effective!
Härligt att se ännu en film från denna tid. V8an beskrevs som att det var allt man behövde, inte mer än så. Det lever kvar än idag med en V8 som kraftigaste motoralternativet hos Scania. Väl tänkt från början! Härligt!
Ja, det är ju därför många andra klarar sig lika bra med raka sexor som i grunden är en bättre motor som kan byggas starkare och med färre rörliga delar.
All of this is already 60 years old, and I believe with today's new technologies it will look much better on today's trucks.

Last truck I drove prior to retiring was a Scania R730. Best truck i ever drove too. 500,000 Kms of pure power. Loved it.
I was driving a 142 on heavy haulage and general haulage, it made easy work of what ever it was pulling even when the old girl was over loaded it didn’t even flinch.
The noice of that v8 made it a pleasure to drive. Good old days.
I still dream about the day I’ll see a modern iteration of a beautiful bonneted Scania with the mighty V8 under its hood. I’m a truck lover, I can dream.

Back then, the Swedish nation was known for serious inventions and innovations. It was a pioneering country built on rational and logical testing. We looked up to the Swedes. They were respected and skilled. Made in Sweden was a quality world brand.
@Jasonsenipor and Swedes have oddly enough gone from being white to black skin and from being Nilsson and Olsson to being Abdalla and Ahmed... funny how much the swedes have killed this beatiful country in so short time... along with the Scania, SAAB and Volvo brands..

Legendary Scania truck 🔥
This video is a gem.
The Scania S770 6x4 large sleeper cab with its 770hp V-8, 3700Nm~2728.972 Ftlbs of Tourqe could be the big selling point for the US market, especially with the exhaust note that V-8 puts out.
The Scania V8 was originally designed by Mack and Mack was sharing technology with Scania. Mack wanted the Scania direct injection technology. The Mack engines reached 16.4L before the Scania engines and Mack was in the process of adding Bosch common rail injection in 2003 when the engine was killed by parent company Volvo.
Hello, i'm New in the Channel. The Scania V8 is a Beast on the Road. Cheers from Dominican Republic.
Interesting and informative. Nice piece of jazz music at the end too!
Interesting to see early part of film where Sweden still drove on left. Also that a young woman was a member of the technical staff in that era. Not sure about the observers being locked in that wooden crate though!
I liked how the other 75 commenters worded this better
More of this please!
Good music comes from Sweden: ABBA, Roxette - and Scania V8 :-) Gruß aus dem Schwabenland
Vídeo emocionante, época de ouro pro transporte.
The standard for trucking is still Kenworth, Navistar, Peterbilt, Mack, Pacific, Stevenson and Stewart. Nothing beats legendary American produced quality.
Funny how Scanias and Volvos are common in Europe, but I have never seen one of the brands you mention here.
The American trucks has been tested in Sweden but they didn´t meet the brake standards and a lot of other things were too crappy to be driven on Swedish roads. There are a few in Sweden now, though.
Legendary Scania,Sverige a country of wonderful things.
Yes, high taxes are so wunderful!
Oh yeah, sweden had that weird time where they drove on the lefthand side of the road but also used vehicles with steering on the left side.
Yup. Every overtake was a roll of the dice.
Very Nice video, Scania is the best
5:09 If the 140 Super is that good, imagine the performance of the 140 Ti..
My dad drove a 140 in 1969.It was lightyears ahead of anything else on the roads he said.
wait hold up they were driving on the left in Sweden??
Yup - they switched sides in 1967.
@@simflyer9955 ooooh wow interesting
@@adi326 And most vehicles were left hand drive. Which is problematic when you drive on the left side of the road. Maybe not so much in a truck, when you can see over most vehicles on the road.

Switch on the subtitles ;)
350hp being a huge amount of power for a truck in 1970, modern top of the line Volvo or Scania having 650-750 hp, these things don't even slow down on the average hill with 50 tons.
Higher allowed speeds of up to 90 km/h and the introduction of longer and heavier combinations asked for more power, on some roads in Sweden a sort of road trains of up to 32 m (110 ft) in length and a weight of 80 metric tons are allowed, while the standard Swedish extra long combination of 25 m and 60 t has been approved in more European countries now.
But even with the heavier weights power is around 10 hp per ton now compared with the 7 hp per ton which was an improvement then.
I remember in the early nineties when these East European trucks started flooding the Autobahnen in Germany after the fall of the iron curtain, those were of east European makes like Liaz, Tatra or Roman and those had only 180-200 hp, those trucks slowed down to almost jogging pace on long 5% gradients which caused really dangerous situations, best then was to avoid the right lane completely on climbs with everything being not an underpowered truck.
The most impressive thing about modern engines is the torque curve. It goes dead straight at set torque. 3000+Nm That is 300kg on a one metre bar or a sturdy man standing on a three metre lever. Constant.
Habe einen 111er gefahren 1978 damals mit 10 Gängen sehr schöner Lkw damals
Roligt att få se lite äldre Svenska klipp också =)
Got to say that Scanias V8s has the best engine sound of them all
I prefer 2stroke Detroit Diesels.
They were fitted to FTF trucks.
We used to have them in the Dutch army, they were used to pull lowloader trailers with Leopard2 tanks as cargo.
Because those Detroit Diesels are 2stroke engines they have 2x the nummer of combustions at any given rpm. It makes them sound like they are screaming.
DD made them in all kinds of sizes, inline and V block.
It's a shame these engines are NOT able to meet modern emissions regulations.
Boy that was bold! Increasing the speed limit from 50km/h to 70km/h. You could die of old age part way through a long haul run at 50.

surely you can get a scania t (wont be cheap tho)
They're running tests selling non-highway trucks to the Canadian mining sector with Navistar, so if that goes well then we will be multiple steps closer!
Have Scania trucks in Mexico but not in the USA, that is B.S.
Saw a Scania 112 going down East 42nd Street, Manhattan in 2007.... 6 wheeler ...
I wonder sometimes at what the speed limit in other countries are. For example here in South Africa the speed limit is 100kph on the highways, 80kph on the rural/backroads and 40kph in towns (for big rig trucks the speed limit for cars is about 20kph above that). And I love Scania but don't really have any experience with them as my employer doesn't have the funds for Scania trucks my experience is limited to a 1984 Tata that has about 150 hp and I'm not sure of the torque.
In Quebec it's
100 on highways, but everyone does 120-130
80 or 90 on rural roads
70 on some roads on the outskirt of cities
50 in cities
30 in school zones or near parks. The police is very strict about this one.
Europe wide it is 90kmh as all trucks over 3tonne have tachographs limiting them to 90. But that speed is only permitted on dual carriageways and motorways. 80kph is the norm elsewhere unless signed for 70 and 50 for urban areas..

Magico Leo you forget about Peterbuild and Kenworth the real ones
scania you should do review on 113 - 310, 320 , 360 , 380
they should raise the speed from 90 to at least 100(like coaches) or 120 for both trucks and coaches
@hosatosa why?
@hosatosa theres not too much difference if a truck hits you at 90 or 100. either way youre in hospital for a long time. its usually not the truck drivers fault anyways

So the answer is basically they needed higher power, and back then it was impossible to reach with the six cylinder engines. And because above six cylinders, the engine would be too long with inline construction it was ideal to use the V design. Scania wasn't the only one of course, but most of the manufacturers found out how to make a powerful enough I6 engine for the 2000s, but for some reason Scania kept their V8s.
Scania and V8 is a more known and connected combo than any other truck nrand so they can't stop with it or want to stop with it so easily
Why did that couple climb into the crate? Did they ever come back out?
It's kinda like Schrodinger's cat....😳.....😁
they were searching for their ABBA compact music album casette tapes!
@Creamapera how do you do it?
They would tell the guys in the cab by 'phone' (wired communications) when a car started to overtake so it could be timed. All part of their research in improving road safety.

The engine was a AEC design
triple driver yup ! It was the v8 mandator engine . When British Leyland was formed , they ditched that engine as it was problematic . The trouble with it was that the main crankshaft bearings weren’t big enough and they were prone to failure . They sold the patents for that engine to Scania , who fitted bigger bearings , and the rest is history !
Seems like many north&middle european Truckbrands at those days relied on Leyland engine technic, like Sisu, DAF, Scania...

When the Swedes started driving on right side of the road and why does they stopped driving on left side like in GB?
Some time in 1967. Everyone had to stop driving at a specific time (I want to say 11pm) and couldn't drive again until an hour later. In that hour, signs were changed/rotated, or in some cases the new signs were uncovered.
Why? The two reasons I was told were 1) all the countries Sweden shared a land border with had already changed to driving on the right so it simplified the border crossing and 2) Swedes often bought their cars outside of Sweden (tax? Dunno) so most Swedish cars were already LHD. As anyone who has tried driving an RHD car in Europe or an LHD car in the UK will know, having the steering wheel on the "wrong" side makes overtaking a bit of a challenge. If you have a willing passenger they can take a look for you, or if the situation permits you can look down the nearside of the vehicle before overtaking it, but it's not ideal. So having the steering wheel on the correct side for the side of the road you drive on is safer.
donkmeister: Thanks a lot for the answer, I appreciate that! 👍🏻

Came from iveco

Mack and Scania worked together on it
@@simonrichard9873 Did mack use it too?
V8 scania, lovely sound, giant torque, theres a catch, they dont really work that long.
Deutz, Iveco, Mercedes, Caterpillar, Liebherr, Cummins, Volvo, Detroit, MAN. All of them tried V8 engines just to eventually replace them with similar displacement L6.
A V8 is like a inline-8 engine but with 5 main bearings instead of 9, and in which each side fires unevenly, V8 diésels dont last as long as L6, they eat crankshafts and bearings quicker
Eventually Scania will kill the V8 and replace it with something else, like everyone hopefully they will keep Individual OHV cyl heads instead of going overhead cam like everyone
