Scania S580 Used Trucks - Current Offers for Sale

V8 Powertrain and Driveline Technology

The Scania S580 is powered by the DC16 16.4L V8 engine producing 580 hp and 2,950–3,000 Nm of torque, sustained across 1,000–1,350 rpm. This variant exclusively uses an SCR-only emissions system, omitting EGR to improve thermal efficiency, simplify engine design, and reduce maintenance. Key technical elements include a fixed geometry turbocharger with wastegate, XPI common-rail fuel injection (developed jointly with Cummins), and a 43L oil system for longevity under high-load conditions. The engine design enables operators to run on up to 100% HVO renewable diesel or, with optional adaptations, alternative fuels like B10 biodiesel and FAME.

Opticruise Transmission and Axle Versatility

Standard fitment is the automated Opticruise AMT (12- or 12+2-speed with crawler gears), featuring an integrated lay-shaft brake that reduces gear change times by 45% and prevents turbo boost loss during shifts. Rear axles include single-reduction types with ratios such as 2.59:1 or 2.71:1 for line-haul, and hub-reduction units like RBP735 or RP835 supporting GCW up to 210 tonnes in heavy haulage applications. The R4100D hydraulic retarder delivers up to 4,100 Nm of braking torque, working with the exhaust brake (320 kW) for enhanced control on steep gradients.

Cab Architecture and Ergonomics

The S-series features a fully flat interior floor, achieved by elevating the cab above the chassis. S-Sleeper Normal (CS20N) and Highline (CS20H) cabs provide up to 2.07 m of interior height in the Highline. The flat floor increases cross-cab mobility and living comfort. Interior highlights include pneumatically adjusted, heated, and ventilated seats, advanced cab insulation, integrated night heater (3kW), deep roof lockers, and high-capacity refrigerators. Visibility is maximized by a lowered dashboard and slim A-pillars.

Chassis Options and Safety Features

Available in 4x2, 6x2, 6x4, 8x4, 8x2, and 10x4 configurations, the S580 chassis accommodates a range of applications, from long-haul logistics to extreme heavy transport. Suspension choices include full air and parabolic springs. Safety systems feature AEB, LDW, ACC integrated with the retarder, and side collision avoidance. The S-series pioneered the integration of rollover curtain airbags in heavy trucks, setting a benchmark in passive safety for commercial vehicles.
