With over a decade of heavy-duty remapping experience and a global network of more than 300 trained and authorised agents, we deliver Scania-specific calibrations that improve power
Preserving The Heritage, Improving The Future
Scania has been building trucks since 1902, and for more than a century, the griffin badge has stood for engineering quality that operators trust with their livelihoods. From the R-series and S-series workhorses that dominate UK motorways to the P-series and G-series trucks that keep construction sites and distribution networks moving, Scania’s modular design philosophy means there are hundreds of configurations on the road, each built around a small number of proven engine platforms. That consistency is exactly what makes Scania trucks so responsive to ECU remapping.
Engineered For Performance
Our R&D team has developed remaps for the full range of Scania diesel engines, from the 9-litre DC09 through the 13-litre DC13 and DC13 Super to the legendary 16.4-litre V8. With over a decade of heavy-duty remapping experience and a global network of more than 300 trained and authorised agents, we deliver Scania-specific calibrations that improve power, torque and fuel efficiency without compromising the reliability your operation depends on.
The Smart Business Case For Scania Remapping
Make a Measurable Difference
Fuel is the single largest operating cost for any transport business, and even a modest reduction in consumption makes a measurable difference across a fleet. Our Scania remaps are calibrated to improve combustion efficiency, which means your trucks use less diesel to do the same work. For a fleet covering hundreds of thousands of miles a year, that translates directly into lower cost per mile and fewer stops at the pump.
We typically see fuel savings of between 5% and 15%, depending on the engine variant, load profile and driving conditions, and those savings compound quickly when you multiply them across every truck in your operation.
Fuel economy is only part of the picture. A remapped Scania delivers more torque lower in the rev range, which changes the way the truck drives under load. Hills that used to mean dropping gears become less of an interruption. Overtaking with a full trailer feels more confident. Drivers report a smoother, more responsive experience overall, and a driver who isn’t fighting the truck is a driver who stays fresher for longer. That has real implications for fleet managers thinking about fatigue management and staff retention.
If you’re running one or two trucks rather than a fleet, the same benefits apply on a more personal level. Your Scania already performs well, but a remap gives you access to the power and torque that the factory map leaves on the table. Long motorway runs feel less laboured, loaded pulls are noticeably stronger, and the fuel savings help offset running costs that are only going in one direction.
We understand that any modification to a working truck has to make commercial sense, and it has to be safe. Our Scania remaps are developed by our UK-based R&D team with the specific operating parameters of each engine platform in mind. We never push an engine beyond what the hardware can safely handle, and every remap comes with a lifetime warranty on the software. Before we touch a truck, we run a full diagnostic health check to confirm everything is in good working order. Your original map is backed up to a dedicated server, so the process is fully reversible at any point. The truck goes back to work the same day.
Understanding Scania Engine Platforms
Scania builds its truck range around a modular system that pairs a small number of proven engine platforms with different cab configurations and chassis setups. For remapping purposes, this is significant. The same DC13 engine that powers an R450 long-haul tractor also sits in the G-series and P-series in different states of tune, which means our R&D team can develop deep expertise in each platform and apply it across the entire range.
4 Engine Families
The current Scania diesel lineup covers four engine families. The 7-litre DC07 is a six-cylinder unit producing 220 to 280hp, designed for urban and lighter regional work. The 9-litre DC09 is a five-cylinder engine rated from 280 to 360hp, with torque outputs from 1,400 to 1,700Nm, well suited to medium-duty distribution and construction at gross weights up to 40 tonnes. The 13-litre DC13 is the backbone of the range, a six-cylinder unit available from 370 to 540hp that handles everything from regional haulage to heavy long-distance work. Scania’s Super variant of the DC13 uses a twin-SCR aftertreatment system and delivers fuel savings of around 8% over the standard engine. Then there is the DC16, the 16.4-litre V8 that has defined Scania’s premium identity for over fifty years. Available in 530, 590, 660 and 770hp configurations with torque up to 3,700Nm, the V8 is built for the heaviest applications: timber, heavy haulage, and high-gross-weight long-distance work.
Like most truck manufacturers, Scania uses the same physical engine block across multiple power ratings within each family. A DC13 rated at 370hp from the factory shares its core architecture with the 540hp version at the top of the range. The difference in output is largely down to software calibration, not hardware. The fuel maps, injection timing, boost pressure targets and torque limiters are all set conservatively to allow the same engine to operate reliably across a broad range of climates and conditions. That built-in headroom is exactly what makes Scania trucks so receptive to remapping. The hardware is already engineered to handle more than the factory map asks of it.
Our remaps for Scania trucks deliver real, measurable gains across the range. Here are some examples:
In every case, these gains are achieved within the safe operating limits of the engine and drivetrain, with no compromise to long-term reliability.

How We Remap Your Scania
Full Diagnostic Health Check
Every Scania remap starts with a full diagnostic health check. Before we make any changes to the ECU, we confirm that the engine and its associated systems are in good working order. If there are existing fault codes or mechanical issues, we address those first. We won’t remap a truck that isn’t in the right condition to benefit from it.
Full Backup
Once the health check is complete, we take a full backup of the original factory map and store it on a dedicated server. That backup stays there permanently, so if you ever want to revert to the standard calibration, for any reason, we can restore it.
Remap
The remap itself is installed through the truck’s OBD diagnostic port in most cases. Our agents connect to the ECU, upload the new calibration, and verify that everything is reading correctly. For some ECU types, bench tuning may be required, where the unit is carefully removed and connected directly. Either way, the process is non-invasive and the truck is typically back in service within a few hours.
Minimum Disruption, Maximum Reliability
All of our HGV remapping work is carried out at your premises, whether that’s a depot, yard or workshop, so your trucks stay where they need to be and downtime is kept to an absolute minimum. However, if you’d prefer to bring your trucks to our HQ just outside Bristol in South West England, simply give us a call.
Flexible Service For Scania Operators
All of our Scania truck remapping is carried out at your premises by one of our trained and authorised agents. Whether you’re operating out of a haulage depot, a distribution centre or a workshop, we come to you. Your trucks stay on-site and the disruption to your operation is minimal.
Our agent network covers the UK and extends internationally, so wherever your fleet is based, there’s likely an authorised Avon Tuning HD installer within reach. Every agent in our network has completed our training programme and works with our UK-developed remap files, so you get the same quality of calibration regardless of location.
For fleet operators running multiple Scania trucks, we can schedule remaps across your fleet in phases to avoid taking too many vehicles out of service at once. If you’d like to start with one or two trucks to see the results before committing to the rest of the fleet, that works too.

Common Questions About Scania Remapping
The remap itself typically takes under an hour, though we allow additional time for the diagnostic health check beforehand and verification afterwards. All work is carried out at your premises, so there’s no need to transport the truck anywhere.
Our remaps are developed with the specific operating parameters of each Scania engine platform in mind. We work within the safe limits of the hardware, and the gains we achieve reflect headroom that Scania has already engineered into the engine. Every remap comes with a lifetime software warranty, and your original factory map is backed up so we can restore it at any time.
This depends on the engine variant, load profile, driving style and operating conditions. We typically see savings of between 5% and 15%, with the biggest improvements coming from trucks that spend most of their time on A roads. The additional torque also means drivers can use less throttle to maintain speed under load, which contributes to lower consumption over time.
Yes. Our agents carry out all HGV work at your premises, and we can phase the remaps across your fleet so that you’re never taking too many trucks off the road at once. Some fleet operators prefer to start with a couple of trucks and evaluate the results before rolling out across the rest of the fleet.
We have over 300 authorised agents across the UK and internationally. Use our agent locator to find your nearest installer, or contact us and we’ll connect you with an agent who covers your area.
