What makes a truck powerful?
When we refer to the power of a truck, we’re talking about horsepower or the capacity of the truck’s engine. Generally speaking, the higher the horsepower, the stronger and faster a truck will be. This is key for long hauling and commercial vehicles as a powerful engine is needed to power a large vehicle and provide enough energy to haul heavy goods long distances and across unsteady terrain.
The V8 770S – The most powerful Scania truck
Scania’s engines have been a hallmark of the brand since their introduction in the late 1960s. Over the decades, Scania has continually refined and enhanced the engines they create to maximise power and efficiency.
If a truck’s power is measured by its engine then the Scania V8 770S is without a doubt the most powerful Scania model on the market to date. The 16.4 litre V8 engine is featured in their newest next-gen trucks and offers an astonishing 770 horsepower, making it not only Scania’s most powerful truck but the most powerful commercial truck available.
The immense power of the V8 makes light work of even the heaviest loads, making it easier for long-hauling goods. The engine integrates the newest technology with advanced engineering, featuring a high-tech management system and the Scania XPI, a high-pressure fuel injector. The latter feature helps to improve aerodynamics, significantly increasing fuel efficiency and reducing fuel consumption.
If you want to save money on fuel and enjoy smooth sailing on the roads with heavy loads then the V8 770S is the truck for you.
What features does the Scania V8 770S offer?
Whilst the excellent engine is the main selling point of the Scania V8 770S, there are a number of other features that make it an impressive truck worth investing in.
Technology
This truck offers a number of features to help enhance the driving experience. This Scania is equipped with the latest navigation and entertainment systems, providing easy access to maps and routes across the globe, whilst also allowing for in-cab downtime when resting during stopovers.
New ergonomic seats also ensure maximum comfort for those lengthy drives.
Comfort
Ensuring a comfortable journey is at the forefront of Scania’s newest models and the 770S doesn’t disappoint. This truck is full of additional features to keep drivers comfortable whilst seated for long haul journeys as well as feeling refreshed when stopping to rest or staying overnight.
The interior cabin offers flat, sturdy flooring, ample space and an extendable bunk so you can stretch out and get a good night’s sleep.
To enhance the driving experience, truckers can also benefit from an adjustable driver’s seat and steering wheel.
Durability
Scania trucks are renowned for their durability and reliability, and the V8 770S is no exception. The truck’s chassis and parts are designed to endure the rigours of heavy-duty use, guaranteeing that it will continue to function under the most trying circumstances. The strict testing and quality control procedures used by Scania ensure that every V8 770S satisfies the highest requirements for dependability and performance.
When we sell a second-hand Scania, our staff at Smith Bros also perform our own rigorous testing to ensure the truck is as good as new before it’s driven off to a new owner.
Sustainability
It’s hard to believe that a truck with such heavy stats and engine power can be designed with the environment in mind, but Scania have exceeded themselves with their efforts towards sustainability with the 770S. Not only does this truck meet the most recent Euro 6 emission standards but it has an advanced, specially developed exhaust after-treatment system to reduce the environmental impact of using fuels.
