Scania R730 – R cab with 16-litre V8 rated at 730 hp: Scania's strongest series engine, tractor units and four-axle trucks up to 47 tonnes
The R730 carries Scania's strongest series engine, a 16-litre V8 rated at around 730 hp, fitted in the tall R long-haul cab. The models R730, R730 LA6X2HNB, R730 LA6X4HNB, R730 LB6X2MNB and R730 LB6X4HNB range from a two-axle tractor unit to a six-axle heavy-haulage chassis with dual drive, as needed for abnormal loads.

The register lists 5 versions with around 537 kW from eight-cylinder engines of 16,350 to 16,353 cm³, kerb weights of 10,025 to 33,705 kg, gross vehicle weights of 27,000 to 47,000 kg, lengths of 6,640 to 11,780 mm and widths of 2,550 to 2,600 mm.
The 730 hp V8 places the R730 at the top of the European tractor-unit market for heavy and abnormal-load transport, where it competes with comparable flagship V8 models from Volvo and MAN and is often paired with multi-axle low-loader semi-trailers. A retarder is practically standard equipment at this power level, allowing heavy combinations to be slowed safely on downhill grades and easing the load on the service brakes.
When buying these heavy chassis, frame reinforcements, the condition of the retarder and brake system, and the mileage of the V8 engine are decisive; given the low production numbers, buying through specialist heavy-haulage dealers with access to genuine Scania parts is advisable, and a full service history is particularly valuable on a vehicle built for hard, heavy-duty work.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
