Scania R460 Used Trucks - Current Offers for Sale

Powertrain Technology and Performance

The Scania R460 is built on the Super powertrain architecture, integrating the DC13 175 12.7L inline-six diesel engine—rated at 460 hp and 2500 Nm of torque—and the G25CM Opticruise automated transmission. The DC13 175 achieves a 50% Brake Thermal Efficiency through a monobloc cylinder head, DOHC, and high peak cylinder pressures (up to 250 bar). The engine omits EGR and employs a Twin SCR aftertreatment system with dual AdBlue dosing for optimized emissions control and fuel economy. An optional Compression Release Brake (CRB) delivers up to 350 kW braking power, reducing reliance on hydraulic retarders and saving up to 100 kg in tare weight. Fast rear axle ratios (down to 1.95:1) paired with overdrive (0.777) enable efficient downspeeding at 85 km/h and 900 rpm.

Gas Variant and Chassis Adaptability

The R460 is also offered as a biomethane-powered variant using the OC13 104 gas engine (460 hp/2300 Nm), with stoichiometric combustion and spark ignition. Dual LNG tanks provide up to 1,800 km range, and for the first time, 6x2 chassis (pusher/tag axle) are available for gas models, utilizing the MACH modular chassis for flexible component positioning. Gas variants are almost always specified with a hydraulic retarder due to reduced engine braking.

Cab, Configurations, and XT Application

The R460 is available with CR20N (Normal) and CR20H (Highline) sleeper cabs, offering standing heights of 1900 mm and 2070 mm, respectively. Main axle layouts include 4x2 and multiple 6x2 options, with full air or parabolic/air suspension managed by ECAS. The XT variant features a steel bumper, skid plate, high air intake, reinforced mirrors, and G33CM heavy-duty transmission for construction duty. Fuel Optimization Unit (FOU) permits near-total fuel utilization from tanks, improving range or payload flexibility.
