8-speed

The virtue of this gearbox lies in its simplicity. Rugged and compact, there are no crawler ratios and the smooth, positive action makes gearchanging easy. Options include Scania Opticruise, Scania Retarder and a selection of power take-offs.

8+1-speed

This gearbox offers similar advantages, together with an extra crawler ratio. Based on a 4-speed box, plus a planetary section, its strength is more than a match for the high-torque output of any Scania inline engine. Options include Scania Retarder and a selection of power take-offs.

12-speed

This gearbox is built to tackle the most challenging terrain, making it the perfect choice for demanding long-haulage. Its closely stepped ratios combine light weight with ease of driving with exceptional operating economy.

12+2-speed

For applications that demand extra low-speed pulling power, this gearbox has two extra crawler ratios. Designed for optimised economy, it has proved highly successful for both long-distance and regional distribution, as well as heavy construction applications. The overdrive versions offer higher torque capacity, plus overdrive for low and economic cruising revs. Scania Opticruise and Scania Retarder, as well as a selection of power take-offs, are available for all range-splitter gearboxes.

Scania’s Opticruise gearbox platform, available in two performance steps G25 and G33, delivers improved and speedy gearshifting in combination with excellent comfort and fuel savings of one percent.

The Opticruise’s fully automated clutch control, which allows for precision manoeuvring and smoother gear performance, is complemented by a wider, more efficient 14-gear spread, and new technologies such as variable oil volume and oil spray function to improve gear lubrication and reduce internal losses.

The platform also introduces a new compact, geometric design, as well as low weight cast aluminium housing, resulting in significantly lower sound levels and a reduced component weight of up to 75 kilograms. Additionally, the Opticruise delivers increased uptime and fewer maintenance stops through an extended oil change interval. All this to ensure that your total operating economy is optimised.

Driveability

Better driveability is achieved with a wider gear ratio spread, which includes super crawler and overdrive, that match Scania’s low rev engine philosophy.

Reversing

Instead of a reversing gear, a planetary gear is used for reversing. This solution enables having eight gears for going in reverse at speeds up to 30 km/h. (This is useful when, for instance, tipper trucks need to reverse for long distances.)

Retarder

The retarder on the G33 has also been updated and improved and can now deliver 4700 Nm torque at a propeller shaft speed below 600 rpm.

PTO

PTO - With the Scania Opticruise gearbox, a new PTO programme with nine different performance steps is introduced. Higher torque and gear ratio improves the overall performance of bodywork equipment. Lower noise levels and reduced fuel consumption is the result of higher gear ratio, which allows lower engine speeds.

The new Scania Opticruise gearbox G33 is available for all V8 engines up to 660 hp as well as the high-output 13-litre 500 and 540 hp engines.
