    And that is? Those Scanias seem to be the R560 type, 560HP V8 engines. Not the R730 I'm afraid.

    They are 580 e6 they are replacement for 620, 520 should match 560 ,japan have pretty strict norms, for a long times they were above us , there is no 730 there except in most demanding 6x6 trucks.

    Even 8x4/4 are 580

    All the trucks are painted the same so I guess they are owned by the same company.

    Was this some kind of performance test.....?

    If the pictures are on a Scania web site, then perhaps the Scanias turned out to be the test winner??
