In September 2025, Scania Commercial Vehicles India officially introduced SUPER, its most advanced heavy-duty truck and powertrain platform for the Indian market.

Designed around a new-generation 13-litre engine architecture, SUPER is engineered to deliver measurable improvements in fuel efficiency, torque, uptime and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), parameters that directly influence profitability in mining, construction and long-haul operations. Silvio Munhoz, Managing Director, Scania Commercial Vehicles India Pvt. Ltd., stated, “SUPER is built around what matters most to our customers—over 10 per cent fuel savings, higher uptime, and clear cost advantages that strengthen the bottom line. To ensure customers realise the full benefit, we have designed a complete 360-degree package that includes innovative service solutions and flexible funding options. SUPER is engineered and tested for Indian conditions, delivering the performance and reliability operators can count on, day after day.” More than a product launch, SUPER represents Scania's sharpened focus on application-specific engineering for India, combining global powertrain expertise with local operating insights. As infrastructure build-out, mining activity and freight movement gather pace, the SUPER platform is positioned as a productivity enabler for fleets operating in India's most demanding conditions.
