kscarbel2 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Transport Brazil / August 12, 2015At the request of agricultural haulers in the Brazilian state of Parana engaged in grain transport, Scania has engineered an 8x2 tractor configuration that, combined with the use of a three-axle trailer, allows a legal gross combination weight of 54.5 metric tons (120,152 lb).Driven by the needs of grain carriers like G10 Transport (http://www.g10transportes.com.br/), Scania created an 8x2 configuration featuring a steered and liftable wide-track pusher axle with single mounted tires, and liftable narrow track tag axle with dual mounted tires.Based on the 13-liter 440 horsepower model R440, Standard, Highline and Streamline cab configurations are available.The 8x2 configuration provides the capabilities of a 6x4 at a lower purchase cost, and with reduced tire wear.To ensure a high degree of maneuverability, Scania chose a 3,900mm wheelbase. The truck's two 330 liter fuel tanks are located behind the cab.
