"Scania AB, a Swedish commercial automotive manufacturer, has delivered
Norway’s largest electric truck. The 66-ton mammoth will transport around
120,000 tonnes of lime annually, reducing emissions on the route by 156 tons.
With over 120 years of experience, Scania has grown to become a leading heavy
truck and bus manufacturer. Scania is under the Traton Group brand portfolio, a
subsidiary of Volkswagen.
In 2020, the company introduced its first battery-electric truck designed for
urban areas. Scania has since grown its lineup with a wide range of electric
trucks, buses, and electrified power solutions.
The company revealed its first regional long-haul electric truck last June, a
single-axle tractor loaded with six batteries (624 kWh) and 217 miles range
(350 km) as part of its new range of heavy-duty electric trucks with enhanced
range, power, and charging ability.
Furthermore, Scania (and MAN, another Traton Group name) partnered with rivals
Volvo Group and Daimler Trucks to install and operate a public charging network
for heavy-duty electric long-haul trucks in Europe.
The official name of the joint venture is Milence, and it aims to install at
least 1,700 “high-performance fossil-free” chargers on and near highways
throughout Europe.
Scania is aiming for 10% of its total vehicle sales to be electric by 2025 and
50% by 2030, including in all areas of business, such as construction, mining,
long-haulage, and timber trucks.
The company has already made a name for itself, delivering the world’s first
electric timber truck in Sweden last July that can haul 80 tons. Now, Scania is
pioneering a new area."
