730 hp V8 Scania

Stuff HP torque is what moves things

The euros don't mention torque because the figures would make those stuck in bush ranger land cry. As much as I like the big K they really need to kick their outdated eaton gear bags to the curb and move into the modern era.

Big difference in maintenance cost....I know someone was charged $30,000 to replace a couple of gears and synchro s in a Volvo box......ZF autos are even more expensive.....you could buy a dozen brand new Roadrangers for that kind of money......The Eaton auto change just sits on top ,and can easily be swapped onto another box without even disconnecting the leads.

It may have 730 hp now but Scania was the new kid in town ( 1969 ) little shake down way back when in truck and bus

1968?
Took a while to get here seeing they had been around for so long in Europe and also had been supplying Mack with engines for years.
