That's a pretty low rev count for a V8 even for a diesel, Another crazy thing I've learned is that the Volvo's biggest inline 6 engines rev even lower (900-1000 rpm "sweet spot")
Hey boys calm yourself down Top off the green all day .I'm driving 143m 450 on Dock trailers Immingham UK 9+ to the gallon 1 in 20 pass me usually tippers any way sweet lorry we just watched❤❤
Yes, its fully rebuilt and I use it everyday doing container work. It's a little old fashioned compared to modern trucks, but I don't mind. Mine has a retarder too, 👌
when you pass 1500 a small dragon appears in the fuel tank and consumes all the fuel. As a used to be owner and operator of both Scania and Volvo +600hp trucks the closer you keep to 1000rpm the more money is left for you!
1500 when you are driving on a bad gravel road with 60t and need to be able to quickly ad power or reduce power when loosing traction, yes. (Se my videos for examples) But on a dry highway for fuel economy you stay around or under the 1200 you have at cruise speed. (The one i had was geared for forest so it was a bit a high on cruise.. The Volvos did 1150 at cruise)
Unbelievable sounding old school v8 with torque to match, it was in its sweet spot at around 1300-1400 rpm

Just sounds as if it's at IDLE speed. Fantastic Scanny!
I miss travelling in one of these with my father. He drove these when they were new.
Stefan, it's very happy in the green using the torque of the engine
Fantastic V8 sound!
She sounds so sweet. Lovely little turbo hum.

V8s are happy enough around 1300 rmp. Pulls away just nicely.
those gear shifts are better than sound therapy
God does this bring back memories.....three years in a 143m on interstate .......loved that truck.
Heading up to Ebbw Vale 😊
The sound is incredible. Love the Scania's. Would prefer you didn't hold a camera while driving though.
I wish i can drive this scania 1 day v8❤❤❤
Is this truck running every day ? I mean as a normal worktruck ?. Used to drive a 143 streamline ( also with the retarder ) back in the late 90´ties

It's a struggle indeed
Yes but for 16 litre V8 Euro3,4,5,6
Very low RPM in the hill for that engine
14 litre V8 should be in 1700-1800 RPM in the hill with load
Using 2/3 of the green band, is the sweet spot for the 14 liter. But it depends of the weight…

100% wrong . It isn't a Two-stroke Detroit . 1200-1500 rpm is where Scania V-8's belong .
