Bullheaded 1,009 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 And now we'll get to have some of that Scania (along with MAN) technology in International's with VW (parent of Scania and MAN) buying into them. Give us the V8 9900i!!!! LOL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That in my opinion was one of the down falls of the v 8 lack of engine braking! Scania offers the world's most effective exhaust brake, complimented by the superb Scania Retarder. Once you experience the retarder, it's hard to go back to a Jake brake. Here's some info on the Scania Retarder: https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35732-scania-freewheeling-retarder-reduces-fuel-consumption/#comment-245667 https://www.scania.com/group/en/braking-that-makes-cents/ https://www.scania.com/group/en/a-brake-with-history/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scania v8 1 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 yes it has... my 15.6L engine had 408hp braking power maybe not extremely strong in comparison to a J-brake i suppose ,but SCANIA chose as far as i recall in the late 80s for developing a wearfree hydraulic brake (retarder)integrated in/mounted at the backside of their gearbox... adding an extra 610hp/3500Nm of braking power in my case. The latest 2021 version delivers up to 4700nm braking torque..... so their classic engine brake itself hasn't improved that much throughout the years because they didn't need to. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
