mrsmackpaul Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I am stunned they sold so many trucks into north America They were certainly tough enough for American transport and definitely built for theblong distance work Does anyone know what year they stopped importing them to the State's ?

Joey Mack Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I have only seen a few Scania trucks 20+ years ago in Maine.. I thought they were Midliners on steroids.. Seems to me that Volvo and Renault, had their hands in Mack trucks for a long time. Is that true? I know nothing about Scania's... jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30165-when-scania-trucks-roamed-north-america/page/6/#findComment-509482 Share on other sites More sharing options...

67RModel Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Renault bought a 10% stake in Mack as far back as 1979 and then increased their ownership to 40% by 1983. Then in 1990 Mack became a wholly owned subsidiary f Renault.

I know nothing about Scania's... jojo Scania and Mack go way back. Mack's first direct injection diesel was coached along by Scania. Also it's no coincidence Scania V8s and the mighty E9 share the same displacement. Some B models even could be bought with a little Scania diesel engine ( and I think early Rs ) last I knew the Scania V8S was at 732 HP. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30165-when-scania-trucks-roamed-north-america/page/6/#findComment-509790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 But the Scania V8 was a lot better motor than any Mack V8 Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30165-when-scania-trucks-roamed-north-america/page/6/#findComment-509837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

European designs seem to like a single head per cylinder . I guess maybe it has it's advantages ?? You guys put them through way harder service than the majority of V8s saw her (some worked hard) Last I read the Scania was using unit pumps and all that good stuff. 732 HP is pretty hard to ignore . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30165-when-scania-trucks-roamed-north-america/page/6/#findComment-509845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 They were prone to dropping valves amongst other problems, but that was the main issue as far as I'm aware That been said they were a very good motor but not a million mile motor, yes some did but they were the exception The E6 and E7 are million mile motors with out a doubt and probably some of the best motors of their time Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30165-when-scania-trucks-roamed-north-america/page/6/#findComment-509879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
