Scania T164 – bonneted “Torpedo” truck with a 16-litre V8 engine, the top engine of the 4-series: 8 versions, 15.6 litres displacement, 18.6 to 38 tonnes gross vehicle weight
The T164 is the most powerful bonneted version within Scania's 4-series introduced in 1995: the number 164 denotes the 16-litre V8 engine, the top unit in Scania's range at the time, paired with the bonneted cab known in Scandinavia as the “Torpedo”. Model designations in the register, such as GB6X2 NA 480 or LA4X2NA 580, give the drive configuration and engine output in metric horsepower.

The register lists 8 versions from eight-cylinder engines of 15,600 to 15,607 cm³. Unladen weights range from 7,825 to 13,220 kg, gross vehicle weights from 18,600 to 38,000 kg, lengths from 6,600 to 9,900 mm and widths from 2,530 to 2,550 mm.
With its V8 engine, the T164 was aimed at heavy transport, forestry and tractor-unit work, where pulling power and a low centre of gravity mattered more than cab comfort. The distinctive V8 sound and bonnet shape still make the T164 a sought-after vehicle among collectors and heavy-transport operators in Scandinavia today.
When buying a used T164, check the mileage and condition of the V8 engine, especially oil consumption and the cooling system, rust on the frame and bonnet mounts, and the condition of the clutch and gearbox given gross weights up to 38 tonnes. Drivetrain parts are supplied through the Scania network, while bonnet parts and chrome trim are found through specialists in historic Scania vehicles.
