Chip tuning for Scania R-series 490 EU6 490hp (360kW) 2550Nm ECU
Scania R-series (I) 490 EU6 490hp (360kW) 2550Nm — commercial diesel engine of the commercial segment of the TRATON Group (Volkswagen Truck & Bus) group (Швеция, 1891). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 490 to 560 hp (+70 hp, +14%) and torque from 2550 to 2955 Nm (+405 Nm).
The Scania V8 is the iconic engine of the flagship tractor units. Scania is a Swedish manufacturer of trucks and buses, founded in 1891. Scania specialises in premium trucks and long-haul tractor units. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on modern Euro-6 truck engines. Truck chip tuning is a discipline of its own, focused on fuel consumption and pulling power rather than peak output. The factory calibration is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1 while preserving engine life.
The truck chip tuning community is an industry of its own, focused on long-haul routes. The professional logistics segment tunes for fuel consumption and pulling characteristics. Top MAN units sit at the power ceiling of the European truck segment.
