kscarbel2 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 IEPIELEAKS / June 15, 2018 MAN is presenting the new D15 engine platform later this year. The nine liter 400 Hp engine is replacing the current D20. The new D15 is smaller, lighter and has less swept volume. That seems like another step towards less CO2 emissions. The D15 engine is already on the market in MAN busses and coaches. Other, non-confirmed news is that MAN is testing the Scania 16 litre V8 with 730 Hp for heavy transport purposes. It could well be that MAN is going to sell the famous V8 in the heavy transport trucks. That would make sense, because for normal road transport the 16 litres V8 is a bit oversized. News about the new cab of MAN keeps dripping. The new dashboard should look like the previous Scania models. It is a bit ‘cockpit shaped’ in stead of the straight dashboard of MAN that we know. Also the roof is new. This is the high-roof version in combination with the low windscreen. .

Would make a great engine brake.

james j neiweem Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Not to mention a great torque booster for hills. Looks like IH may be getting some new engine inputs from the Eropeons. What are the Ameirican automotive engineers doing. Not much perhaps?

Maxidyne Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 VW group is featuring "mild hybrid" technology with a combined starter/alternator on a lot of their upcoming models, wouldn't be surprised to see this tech used in their big trucks too...
