Scania R560 Used Trucks - Current Offers for Sale

Powertrain and Driveline

The Scania R560 is driven by a 16.4L V8 diesel engine from the DC16 family, delivering 560 hp (412 kW) at 1,900 rpm and a peak torque of 2,700 Nm between 1,000 and 1,400 rpm. This engine configuration ensures robust pulling power and high efficiency, particularly under heavy load. The R560 is typically equipped with Scania’s latest Opticruise AMT, featuring rapid gear engagement with the integrated lay-shaft brake and available with the GRS905R (12+2 speed with overdrive/crawler) for maximum tractive effort. Retarder and advanced engine brakes are standard. Emissions are managed by a SCR-only aftertreatment system, meeting Euro 6 regulations. Fuel tank capacities can be specified up to 1,500L (dual-tank setup), supporting extended long-haul operations.

Front axle load capacities up to 9 tonnes and rear tandem bogie loads to 26 tonnes, depending on spec. Full air suspension or parabolic/multi-leaf steel springs are selectable per application. Electronically Controlled Air Suspension (ECAS) on driven axles is standard, enabling height adjustment for optimal loading and trailer compatibility.
