Scania Diesel Engines
At the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Capt. Steve checked out Scania’s 13- and 16-liter diesels. The engines have 30% parts commonality, and the cylinder heads are individual instead of being one large, heavy cast piece—a big plus for maintenance. Next, Scania uses a standing cylinder liner that is thinner than conventional style, which the company says translates to cooler operation and better fuel economy.
