New SCANIA R 540 Full Tour & Test Drive (2,700Nm 6 Cylinder Engine)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Let me take you on a full tour and test drive in the New SCANIA R 540. This is the latest addition to the 13 litre 6 cylinder diesel line-up with 2,700 Nm.
So the question is with the R 540 & R 520 V8 now both having the same torque output, would you still pay the extra money for the heavier V8?
There are now five 13 litre diesel engines to choose from, 370hp, 410hp, 450hp, 500hp, 540hp.
There's also Gas, Ethanol, HVO ( Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) & Bio-Diesel options available using the 13 litre 6 cylinder engine.
Thanks for watching, Stavros

I wish we had these trucks in the USA. Love these trucks from Europe! Thanks for the videos sir.
No way... we would love to have more comfortable sleeper trucks like you guys have ...
I like trucks a lot, but know nothing much about them. Except for watching your videos now appreciate Scania probably make the best trucks.
I don't drive, but spent many years doing security at glass factory.
They had contractor distribution locally with R 480. but deliveries from Europe with R500 v8 ( and occasional Iveco 500 ) and even at 2am in the middle of the city could always hear a Scania miles off!
I'd take that inline 6 cylinder any day. I've always been a bit hesitant with the V8's. Not that they're bad but here in Zimbabwe🇿🇼 the 6 cylinder engines are more common. Otherwise great review, thanks for the video Stavros, I'm a huge fan, cheers
Man, your vids are just amazing!!! The way you show us the whole truck... It's just incredible!! LIKE LIKE LIKE!
I was lucky enough to be the first to take that lorry out on demo , I had it for 4 days and really enjoyed it. It actually out performed the pgr r500 euro 5 that I drive every day on hills . That r540 actually has air suspension on the front axle @stavros 👍
Stavros is like the Doug Demuro of semi-trucks.
DeMuro is annoying as hell and screaming all the time.
Hey Stavros I am from the US and I like the trucks in Europe keep up the great work
Kenya in the House! Following religiously
Love your videos, not a lorry driver but I love anything with an engine. Never knew how sorted and clean Irish trucks are until I moved out of the country, nothing like the UK. Hope it's not the death of the V8s. Not a sound quite like them
Great video, it always amazes me how technologically advanced these trucks are compared to ours in the US
Hi from Bosnia Stavros you are my fav. youtuber and thank you for videos like this
Please do a review of that black R650! It has a manual gearbox, what a great truck 😍
Oh God, that S730 looks so imposing, and the V8 is the reason of life!!! Thanks Stavros for all your work!
We love our V8's.
I think I would go for the straight 6
I've never really liked the vibrations from the v8 on idle.
But definitely go for the high cab.
A comment on the interlock valve:
It is optional, but mandatory on some markets. Also function is not as described.
It is a safety valve that activates when air pressure in the handbrake circuit goes below around 4-ish bar. When that happens you must also push that button in order for the hand brake to release.
Comes from accidents when cold starting trucks, where the driver tries to drive away before system pressure is normal and then exits the truck with hand brake off. When pressure comes back the (hand) brake disengages and the truck starts moving by itself.
I miss my Scania from 20 years ago. Drive a Cascadia now in Canada.
Stavros is back to T.Nolans after along time
this is vehicle
If I was going to spec a scania for myself, I would definitely go for a V8 that has the same hp and torque with the 13 liter. Yes it is going to be more expensive, but when you have 3 liters more engine volume and 2 more cylinders that engine will last much longer before needing an overhaul and will also break down less and consume less. Because there is much less tension on it
you are wrong our company pull heavy trailers and different in v6 and v8 is about 3 litres per 100 km.Count it in 1 million kms how much it will cost you......I would say cca 30 000 euro in trucks lifetime:-D
good morning from Estonia!
Nice one Stavros. You do a great job on all your videos.
Stavros the weather mod you have is bagged, always rainy weather !
I've miss that info.
540hp with a 13litres, impressive.
Good job mr stavros, impress to see new scania have brake lock button that can ensure the trucks will not move if stuck on hill or something even the air pressure is running out, great safety features for the trucks and also helps the drivers, before this only volvo have this kind of brake lock system..
Gud morning Stavros. Great vid. Nice truck. The 540 without a doubt. Let me see, the sound of a V8 or the sound of more money in your pocket? Keep em coming. Respect.
Still, cant compare 6cyl with 8, i would go for a 520 anytime. Owning 2 r520 2016 currently.
Then I wish you lots of problem-free miles for you, sir!
Good morning Stavros
Great vids love your channel. Great truck it is
Watching from Scotland
keep going stavros love your work
The 540 i6 is probably better than the 520 v8 in all ways except for the sound
Nope. I am a mechanic read my comment to know why
@@behroozkhaleghirad Where is the comment you are referring to?
@@chrisb99 amongst other comments 😁I don't have profile picture search for the letter B in blue circle to find it easier
@@behroozkhaleghirad I tried doing that but didn't find any of your comments
@@chrisb99 lol so let me explain here briefly: v8 is 16liters with 8 cyliners. I6 is 13 liters with 6 cylinders. When delivering the same power, v8 has to work less harder so it is under less pressure. It means less break downs less down time and more time till inframe rebuild needed. So it will be more economical to have v8 rather than l6
Lumayan masio gak tau numpak scania tapi iso ndelok carane nyetir
From what I know in the Scania configurator the r540 does not come in manual gearbox but the r520 can be chosen with a manual gearbox
Hi Stavros. Love your very informative videos. Not often one to comment on them however this one has a bit of significance as I'm hopefully getting my hands on Scania Scotland R540 tag next week. I'll give a full report to you (hopefully) next week 👍 keep up the great videos
Great video stavros, I'll say it would have to be the V8 for me every time. Cheeeeeeres
Love from Mumbai India ❤️❤️❤️😍😅
There are many reasons why I would go for the R540 over the R520 V8.
- Firstly, the V8 engine, interior and exterior are more expensive.
- The V8 is less economical.
- The 6-cylinder is more eco-friendly.
- In this case, the 6 cylinder has more horsepower.
And to be honest, both engines don't sound very different and that doesn't really matter for a truck.
Between these two, 540 inline six and 520 V8 I'd take the 540. Having a V8 doesn't increase income so it'd be just unnecessary expense.
And it increases the driving experience by 50% )))
Fantastic truck. Brilliant engineering getting V8 power with 6 pot economy
Good explanation Stavros, but my advice as well you should teach how to drive all manual and auto trucks for better understanding.
You've done a great but interesting show on the truck.
Scania won't be the same without the V8
What happened to the T cab Scania?
It would be very interesting to see the fuel consumption difference between the 2 trucks, r520 v8 and r540 ?
Dear Stavros: Thanks for all your videos, they are Great. But I must say, that I disagree, when you and almost everybody else, say that a V8´s always sound better, than 6 Inline´s. Now I happen to LOVE The Inline 6´s and NOT like the V8´s, so I would take an R500 or R540 Inline 6 Anyday over a V8, so obviously you are entitled to your opinion, especially since it is your UA-cam channel, but although many may agree with you, there are still people like myself, which love the sound of the Inline 6´s, so please have this in mind, when you make your videos.
Otherwise, you do a Greaaat job, Stavros.
Sincerely Thomas.
Nic truck and nice music what better combination
Another great video on a sunday mate always look forward to yours.540 realy nice but would need to be a highline mate for extra headroom. Still a Volvo man though. Lol. Keep it up. 👍
Nice video stavros and a nice scania 👍👍
Good morning stavros
Good job lad 👍👍 not much off a scania fan , drive a new fh12 500 could you do a test on one off them please stavros cheers
Stavros can you please take a look a time at one of those volvos FM please
Hi Stavros! I am from Phils. We have scania trucks here, used by Manila water company. May i ask you, which is better between that two units? Thank you Stavros, and keep safe always!
Stavros are you related to Rory Lynch, are you anything to do with the company
Stavros bro also make a video on DAF XF 105. You havent covered it on your videos. You have covered 106
What is the difference in fuel consumption between the two different engines?
okay, maybe its just me that prefers the sound of the straight six....of the new gen, the 164L's v8 sounded godly
@stavros have you ever driven tandem trailers?
How much do these sort of things normally cost?
what is the gross train weight? , please
Curious do Scania Trucks come in Left Hand Side Drive ... These Rigs are Banging .... Great Design
They're swedish, so yes. As for the rest of Europe.
Hello Stavros
I truly appreciate for bringing up this video.
Can you do me a favor, would it be possible to explain complete commercial truck either Volvo or Scania.
Complete operation for instance various systems, components so on for a truck ,I am beginner eager to learn on commercial truck.
If not can you please share me the details where I can get this information.
Thanks for kind consideration.
I am currently working in trucking industry.
mrning stavros up the banner
We have this truck on demo atm
I love it
Great video Stavros. That custom LED light/sign on the back wall is so tacky. Great way to ruin a nice interior.
Hai sir, what are doing now at home? I hope you are very well at there. May a good bless supaya covid19 berlalu pergi from our live.
Boa noite vocês podia pensar que nós brasileiros que são apaixonados por Scania queria ver esses vídeos com tradução obrigado
When we're all driving electric ones we will all be looking back thinking all that noise and slow acceleration diesel trucks had!!
Good morning
不得不说，斯堪尼亚真是公路之王，真不是吹的
do a japanese trucks .. fuso super great has a special place in my heart .. but chinese trucks are now the thing now here in the Philippines.
There aren't really any in the UK or ROI i don't think he'll be able to
xDDDDDDDDDDDD
V8 be better for heavy work 6 pots b under pressure
Just curious I’m in Canada and would like to know how long the average trailer length is there.
Aberdeen Belfry all trailers are 45ft and under
Sweden, Norway and Finland run with longer stuff, up to 85 feet but that tend to be doubles rather than a single trailer.
can someone tell me what the difference is between scania r and scania s series
The S has its cab higher up, so it has a flat floor inside.
Is the straight six engine mead by scania.. sounds like MAN D26 13 ltr. 540 hp
They said MAN will be developing smaller engines (13lt ones) and Scania develop the bigger ones.. They are owned by VW you know
Can’t beat Volvo’s in-line 6 may aswell join it
Pff
Ashokleyland video?
Scania should make 800hp v8 truck
V8 all day everyday ,
How is that possible? A inline-six that has more power than a V8!?
More turbo preassure.
SCANIA \8/
would raffer have MAN TGX 18640
It seems to me MAN how owns most of scania are trying to drive out the V8
It's Volkswagen who owns both of them.
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Go Scania v8 BABAB
Expensive
Tidak ada vitur secanggih itu di truk jepang yang masuk ke indonesia
Tata learn from this!!
520 forever... Same torque and v8 engine...
I thought the S730 was going to be called 730 S now🤔
hello. stauros are you greek.
He's not.
I passed that truck the other day
Parents big Kojak fans?
Please give me a job
Please tell me personally
just volvo....750 hp whit 6 cylanders!
The number of cylinders doesn't matter. The 750 is a 16 liter engine, just like the Scania V8.
