Scania returns to the Brisbane Truck Show in 2025 with its biggest and most powerful V8 prime mover taking centre stage, on a brand-new display stand.
The remarkable 770 S 6×4 boasts 3700 Nm of torque from just over 1000 rpm from its mighty 16.4-litre V8 engine, and the S-series extended CS 23 cab delivers a flat floor and the ultimate in spacious luxury for a driver who may live aboard for days at a time.
Scania remains the only supplier of on road trucks powered by a V8, and the S-series show truck comes equipped with all the latest and greatest European active and passive safety features from Advanced Driver Assistance Systems to side curtain roll-over airbags, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive steering, as well as Scania’s brand new all-digital dashboard.
The 770 S CS 23 sets a new standard for long haul comfort, technology and convenience and is joined on the stand by a 500 P low entry prime mover boasting an example of the successful 13-litre straight six-cylinder SUPER engine family that has been a huge hit with Australian customers since launch two years ago. The 500 P prime mover is ideal for last mile delivery, urban and regional work, as well as having the flexibility to undertake B-double work when needed.
Driving down fuel consumption and emissions has seen a rapid acceleration with the arrival of the Scania SUPER engine range. Scania’s claims of an 8% fuel saving have been met and exceeded in many cases in real world operation down under. The feature-rich all-new DOHC design delivers amazing fuel figures, plenty of power and prodigious torque. Compared with rivals of similar hp outputs, the Scania SUPER engines deliver more torque at each hp rating which underscores its drivability and performance as well as fuel economy and reduced emissions.
All Scania’s advanced engines can run on Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil ex-factory to deliver vastly reduced CO2 emissions, and all can run on B10 biodiesel blends, with most of the engine line up able to run on B100, delivering up to a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions.
Also starring on the Scania stand is the all-new 40 G-series battery electric prime mover, the first of its type to reach Australia, which will be ideal for local and regional single trailer applications, offering silent running, practical range and zero tailpipe emissions.
“Scania has a mass-market solution to driving down emissions across the range for customers willing to switch to biodiesel or HVO,” says Benjamin Nye, Director of Sales for Scania Trucks. “While Scania as a company is dedicating its future to the provision of an increasing number of battery electric trucks, for the here and now we can make a bigger impact on emissions reduction by switching to low CO2 emitting fuels while retaining the efficient and clean diesel combustion engines we are all familiar with.”
In addition to the trucks on the Scania stand, once again the company is highlighting its range of customer friendly services that combine to provide a total transport solution for owner driver to national fleet operators.
These range from flexible company-owned finance packages through Scania Finance Australia to tailored Repair and Maintenance contracts, pre-paid service contracts, Rental Truck and Used Truck services, driver and fleet monitoring and driver training, as well as Fleet Care, driver and fleet mobile phone apps, nationwide Scania Assistance coverage and a growing network of company-owned sales and service branches across the key population centres in Australia.
The new-look, eye-catching, bi-level locally designed stand provides plenty of space for visitors to view the three trucks, as well as discover detailed product and services information, meet the Scania team, grab a coffee from the famous Scania barista as well as browse and buy Scania’s ever-popular merchandise.
“It is good to be back at the Brisbane Truck Show, and we are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones, while introducing visitors to our new-look stand,” Benjamin says. “We have brought a team of our specialists from throughout Scania Australia to the show and welcome all enquiries about our products and services.”
