"Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturer Scania says it will supply 91 battery
electric buses to a local transport operator, in its largest order to date and
one of the largest electric bus deals in the country.
Scania will supply 91 of its Fencer F1 battery electric vehicle (BEV) buses to
VR Sweden, including 32 in a 4×2 configuration and 59 in a 6×2*4 configuration.
VR Sweden won the contract to provide bus services in Södertälje and Nykvarn
from local public transport authority SL in 2025 and will begin operations next
year. The purchase of these 91 electric buses is intended to fulfil this
contract.
“The investment is an important step in the transition to electrified public
transport and enables reduced local emissions, while ensuring attractive and
reliable traffic for passengers as well as a good working environment for
drivers and maintenance personnel,” said Anders Frykman, bus director at VR
Sweden.
Each bus will feature battery capacity of 445 kilowatt-hours (kWh), with 400
kWh of usable energy and a charging time from 5 to 95 per cent of only 73
minutes.
The technical specifications provided by Scania do not state an estimated
driving range, but the 73 minutes charging time is based on adding 485
kilometres per hour of charge."
