Scania has launched the Super 11 engine, a high-performance solution designed to enhance efficiency and flexibility in the 11-litre segment. Positioned between the 9-litre and 13-litre engines, the Super 11 delivers up to 7% better fuel efficiency than the current 9-litre model and is 85 kg lighter than the Super 13. This innovation allows transport operators to boost payload capacity in weight-sensitive operations while maintaining top-tier power, reliability, and fuel economy.
“This engine opens new possibilities for energy-efficient and cost-effective transport. It’s lighter, leaner and more flexible, yet it still carries the strength and reliability for which Scania is known. It’s a smart choice for operators who need to balance performance, payload and sustainability in their daily work,” says Ayyoob Zarmehri, Product Manager, Trucks Sales and Marketing at Scania.
Engineered with fuel economy and durability in focus
Available in three performance steps – 350 hp (1,800 Nm), 390 hp (2,000 Nm) and 430 hp (2,200 Nm) – the Super 11 complies with Euro 4, 5 and 6 emission standards. It delivers performance across a wide range of transport applications, from urban logistics to regional haulage.
The Super 11 also benefits from sharing 85 percent of its components with the tried and tested Super 13 engine, maintaining Scania’s engineering DNA while being tailored to a different operational fit.
Maintenance intervals are up to 30 percent longer than Scania’s 9-litre engines when using LDF-5 engine oil, which helps operators increase uptime and reduce overall service costs.
Innovative technology beneath the surface
The Super 11 features various key improvements that are the result of years of testing of technical innovations. The new engine is equipped with Scania’s own cam phaser technology for variable valve timing, enabling real-time engine thermal management and improved combustion performance. This is combined with new engine software and balance shafts for reduced vibration and a robust engine brake, which offers up to 344 kW through Scania’s Variable Valve Brake (VVB) system. It all adds up to an engine that delivers a smoother, more comfortable driving experience. Scania’s patented turbo dosing system also improves AdBlue usage and further enhances engine efficiency.
Cleaner operation from day one
The impressive fuel efficiency savings and lighter weight are already compelling arguments for the new engine’s sustainability credentials, but a further element is that the Super 11 is compatible with both HVO and FAME. This enables operators to lower their emissions footprint without investing in new infrastructure. It is a solution that supports both operational goals and long-term sustainability targets.
Versatile Performance Across Applications
Compact, lightweight and powerful, the Scania Super 11 engine is built for diverse transport operations, including tipper and bulk haulage, fuel and volume goods delivery, refuse collection, temperature-controlled transport, general cargo, hooklift and flatbed with crane, as well as recovery and fire service vehicles.
“The Super 11 engine represents the next generation of intelligent transport. It combines the best of Scania’s engineering with the efficiency and adaptability that today’s operators demand. Whether in the city or out on longer routes, this engine is built to perform – mile after mile,” says Ayyoob Zarmehri.
The Super 11 engine will be available for purchase from June 2025.
