Engine Scania DC16

Production of the modern Scania DC 16 engine started in 2010. The engine satisfies the strict environmental requirements of Euro IV thanks to its Scania XPI (Common Rail) battery-type fuel injection system.

The DC16 is an air-to-air intercooler with a 4-stroke V-8 turbocharger. The engine has a remarkable 16-liter displacement.
