The Scania R620 LB from 2011 stands out for its engine: eight cylinders and 15,607 cm³ of displacement produce 456 kW. It is a V8, a layout that Scania uses in the top power class of the R series, which carries the high forward-control cab.
The transmission offers 6 gears. At 8,150 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, the dimensions of the chassis are kept handy. The unladen weight is 12,340 kg and the permissible gross weight 30,000 kg.
The R620 LB thus combines a large eight-cylinder engine with a chassis of manageable length. The ratio of engine output to vehicle length is therefore especially pronounced, since 456 kW sit in a vehicle measuring only 8,150 mm. The number in the type name points to the power level, and the letters R and LB place the vehicle in Scania's system of cabs and chassis.
Scania R620 – the flagship tractor unit of the R range with a 16-litre V8 engine, 620 hp, axle configurations from 4x2 to 8x2, chassis codes LA and LB, 456 kW
The R620 is the version of Scania's R range with the 16-litre V8 engine and about 620 hp, which the type designation carries in its name. The R range replaced the 4-series cab as the flagship for long-haul transport in 2004; the LA and LB chassis codes denote different frame versions, and the 4x2, 6x2, 6x4 and 8x2 axle configurations in the type designation give the number of axles and driven wheels. The 16-litre V8 has been Scania's top unit since the 1990s and is available in several power stages up to over 700 hp.

The register lists here 11 versions with 456 kW from six- to eight-cylinders of 15,607 to 16,353 cm³, gross weights from 27,000 to 46,000 kg, lengths from 6,650 to 12,000 mm and widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm.
The R620 ranks among the top class of tractor units in long-haul transport and competes there with the top-power versions of the Volvo FH, Mercedes-Benz Actros and MAN TGX; hauliers use it above all for long distances with high gross weight and for special tasks such as heavy haulage.
On used examples, operating hours and the maintenance history of the V8 engine, the condition of the turbocharger and exhaust aftertreatment, wear on the clutch and retarder, and the frame and axles on the heavy axle configurations all count; parts run through the dense Scania network.
