Scania has expanded its Super powertrain portfolio with the launch of the Super 11 engine.

With a compact footprint, up to 7% fuel savings and Scania’s signature engineering intelligence, the new Super 11 engine expands the Super powertrain portfolio to meet the needs of weight-sensitive and energy-efficient applications.

Positioned between the established 9L and 13L engine platforms, the Super 11 offers up to seven percent improved fuel efficiency compared with Scania’s current 9L engine, and is 85kg lighter than the Super 13 engine. This allows transport operators to increase their payloads in weight-critical operations without compromising on power, fuel efficiency or reliability.

“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,” said Ayyoob Zarmehri, product manager, trucks sales and marketing at Scania.

Engineered with fuel economy and durability in focus

Available in three performance steps – 350hp (261kW)/1800Nm, 390hp (290kW)/2000Nm and 430hp (320kW)/2200Nm – 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% 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% longer than Scania’s 9L 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 344kW through Scania’s Variable Valve Brake (VVB) system.

Cleaner operation from day one

The Super 11 is compatible with both HVO and FAME, enabling 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.

One engine, multiple applications

Compact, lightweight and powerful, the Super 11 is designed for a wide range of transport operations, including:

• Tipper and bulk transport
• Fuel and volume goods transport
• Refuse collection and temperature-controlled transport
• General cargo
• Hooklift and Flatbed with crane
• Recovery and fire engines

“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,” said Zarmehri.

The Super 11 engine will be available for purchase from June 2025.
