kscarbel2 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Scania Group Press Release / August 3, 2017 Red Pearl and Chimera wow the crowds at Convoy in the Park. Two of Svempa’s spectacular customised trucks – Red Pearl and Chimera – wowed the crowds at the recent Convoy in the Park truck festival in England. The trucks have been on show at various events around Europe over the summer, and the dynamic duo were driven to the event by Robert Bengtsson and Jan Gisslén from Scania. Both Robert and Jan were inundated with questions about the trucks, with enthusiasts wearing out their phone batteries taking photos and movies. And of course, there was the opportunity to hear these magnificent machines’ distinctive roar, which, as our film shows, had people swarming round them like bees to a honeypot. . .

james j neiweem Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Can a Scania V8 be put in a glider? What tranny would be needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure it could be done but wiring would be a nightmare plus cost of the engine probably $40-50k . I'm sure a fuller or mack 13 or 18 speed would bolt up to it . Probably cost you 180to 200k to build one . The best thing would be for someone that had a good mack superliner,CL or MH that needed a new motor and buy a Scania v8 so the cost would be reasonable to do such a project .

Timmyb Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Kevin, make a drop in kit and maybe a demo truck and I'm sure you will start selling units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you hit the nail right on the head.... wiring..!!!! probably the most complicated component of any new truck or bus in today's world... from the simplicity of a B to what we have today that can only be "talked to" via a laptop to a myriad of body computers and sensors.... and don't try sparking a wire on the frame to see if it is live... LOL what would be the motivation for some to do it?... is the Scania so reliable and powerful that it would pay back the owner through enhanced line availability rather that stuck in a shop?? I have trouble with multiple vendors computer systems on the same vehicle where proprietary language restricts two competitor systems from talking to each other without a home made translation program written by computer geeks and their lawyers..!!!
