Scania to unveil its 16-liter V8 EPA Tier 3 engine at IWS

Scania’s powerful 16-liter V8 EPA Tier 3 engine, intended for propulsion and auxiliary use, will be one of two engines showcased at The International Workboat Show in New Orleans, Louisiana, the company said in a media release.

Scania V8 engines are engineered to produce incredible power, while maintaining a size that is compatible for auxiliary equipment.  The V design reduces the overall length of the engine which also makes for easy installation. Ancillaries can be effectively accommodated inside the ‘footprint’ of the engine.

Most repairs and servicing can be carried out by a single service technician, since each cylinder has its own head, which together with wet cylinder liners makes for easy overhauls in confined spaces. The camshaft is located high in the block and the timing gears are rear-mounted in order to increase the accuracy of engine timing and reduction of noise.

The output ratings for Scania’s newest version of the 16-liter marine propulsion engine ranges from 550 – 900 hp, and will continue to have outputs between 550 – 1000 hp for use in international and exempt markets.

For auxiliary applications the range for EPA Tier 3 is 468 kW – 553 kW, and the current range will continue to be offered between 430 kW - 596 kW for international and exempt markets.

In all types of automotive, industrial and marine applications, Scania’s new engine platform is renowned for its high efficiency, providing very good fuel economy irrespective of operation.
