Engine Scania DC16

The Scania DC 16 engine as we know it today began production in 2010. The engine is equipped with a Scania XPI (Common Rail) battery-type fuel injection system, which allows it to meet the high environmental standards of Euro IV.

The DC16 is a 4-stroke, V-8, turbocharged, air-to-air intercooler. The engine displacement is an impressive 16 liters.
