Scania has expanded its powertrain portfolio with the launch of the new Super 11 engine—an 11-litre powerhouse designed for operators seeking maximum payload capacity and energy efficiency, without compromising performance or reliability.
Positioned between Scania’s 9-litre and 13-litre platforms, the Super 11 engine is a strategic response to evolving operator demands in the transport sector. Lighter by 85 kilograms than the Super 13 and offering up to 7% improved fuel efficiency compared to the 9-litre engine, it’s engineered specifically for weight-sensitive applications such as bulk haulage, tipper operations and urban logistics.
“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,” said Ayyoob Zarmehri, Product Manager, Trucks Sales and Marketing at Scania. “It’s a smart choice for operators who need to balance performance, payload and sustainability in their daily work.”
Three variants, same Super DNA
Available in three performance steps—350 hp (1,800 Nm), 390 hp (2,000 Nm), and 430 hp (2,200 Nm)—the Super 11 meets Euro 4, 5 and 6 standards. Despite its compact size and reduced weight, it shares 85% of its components with the proven Super 13 engine, helping to reduce parts complexity and maintain reliability.
Scania has also extended maintenance intervals for the Super 11 engine by up to 30% compared with the 9-litre equivalent, when using LDF-5 engine oil. This translates to lower maintenance costs and increased uptime for operators.
Technology focused on performance and comfort
Beneath the hood, Scania’s Super 11 features several technical innovations. The engine incorporates Scania’s cam phaser technology for variable valve timing, enabling real-time control of thermal efficiency and enhanced combustion. Additional enhancements include balance shafts for reduced engine vibration, a robust engine brake delivering up to 344 kW through the Scania Variable Valve Brake (VVB) system, and updated engine control software.
Scania’s patented turbo dosing system also contributes to reduced AdBlue consumption, making the engine more efficient and cost-effective to operate.
Built for sustainability
The Super 11 isn’t just about performance—it’s also designed to help fleets lower their emissions footprint. Fully compatible with renewable fuels like HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters), the engine allows operators to transition toward cleaner transport without the need for new refuelling infrastructure.
Ready for a wide range of applications
Thanks to its compact footprint and versatile power delivery, the Super 11 engine is ideal for a range of transport applications, including:
- Tipper and bulk transport
- Fuel and volume goods distribution
- Refuse collection and refrigerated transport
- General freight and urban deliveries
- Hooklift, crane, recovery, and emergency response 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,” added Zarmehri.
The Scania Super 11 engine will be available for purchase in Australia from June 2025.
