kscarbel2 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 In describing how the legendary Mack Trucks chief engineer and vice president Alfred Masury set the tone for thousands of Mack Truck employees to follow, I said, "Never a hint of arrogance, such demeanor was never the Mack way, but rather always driven from within to design, build and support the world’s best name in trucks. Alfred F. Masury’s Mack Trucks said it straight - “Performance Counts”. I hope everyone is picking up on the tone of Scania's new V8 announcement, that being the genuine and deep sense of pride, without the slightest connotation of arrogance. The phrase "Performance Counts" precisely describes the culture of Scania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Scania block, though the same 16.4-litre displacement, is unrelated to the E9. The new generation of V8s is based on the architecture launched in 2010 which includes a compacted graphite iron (CGI) engine block and Scania-Cummins XPI common rail extra-high-pressure fuel injection. The DS14 and ENDT865/866 in 1969 were co-developed. They differed in that Scania utilized an individual cylinder head design (long popular in Europe), while Mack used a two-cylinder head design (four heads total). When Scania replaced the 14-litre with the 15.6-litre in 2000, Scania departed from the Mack engine block architecture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
