This video shows how a Scania 12+2-speed range-splitter gearbox is assembled at the Scania gearbox production facilities in Södertälje, Sweden. Gearboxes are also produced in Tucumán, Argentina. All gearboxes used in Scania’s long-haulage trucks are developed and manufactured by Scania. Shot in time-lapse, the video shows the whole gearbox assembly process, something that takes about an hour in real life.

The gearbox produced in this video is the same type of gearbox fitted in German transport operator Peter Wittman Transporte’s R 730 featured on the cover of the 2013 edition of Legend.

Scania’s modular system allows Scania R-series trucks to be equipped with a range of gearboxes, from the 8-speed range-change gearbox all the way up to the top-of-the-line 12+2-speed range-splitter gearbox.

The optional overdrive feature allows for low and economical cruising revs. This is in line with Scania’s low-rev approach, where peak torque is available at low revs, enhancing fuel economy.

To further improve driveability, Scania R-series trucks can be equipped with the Scania Opticruise automated gear changing system, as well as Scania Retarder – an auxiliary braking system first introduced in 1993. The most recent addition to the gearbox range is a 4,100 Nm freewheeling retarder that automatically disengages and enters a freewheeling mode when not active, thus reducing fuel consumption.
