Scania G460 Fuel Consumption

The Scania G460, particularly in its Puller and 6×4 configurations, typically achieves a fuel consumption rate of 1.2 to 2 kilometers per liter (kmpl) depending on the load, terrain, and driving habits[3][5]. This translates to about 50 to 83 liters per 100 kilometers under commercial vehicle hauling conditions. The most commonly reported real-world range is 1.5 to 2 kmpl[5].

Key specifications impacting fuel consumption include:

  • Engine: 12.7L Scania DC13, Turbocharged Diesel (up to 13L in some markets)
  • Power Output: 460 hp (343 kW) @ 1900 rpm
  • Torque: 2250 Nm @ 1000–1350 rpm
  • Transmission: 12 to 14-speed, semi-automatic
  • Fuel Tank Capacity: 500 liters

Actual fuel efficiency can vary based on several factors such as average speed, road and traffic conditions, cargo weight, and driver behavior[5]. To maximize fuel economy, Scania recommends utilizing features such as Opticruise automated gear shifting and taking advantage of the truck’s high torque at lower revs[1].
