The zero-emission truck has averaged a 250km range since being put into service recently

23 February 2023 - 05:00In an industry-first trial, Shoprite recently acquired a heavy-duty Scania electric truck which it is piloting in SA.

Scania claims a range of up to 350km on a single charge and the Shoprite-branded truck, used for local deliveries, has averaged about 250km since being put into service at the end of last year. It is recharged using renewable energy generated by Shoprite’s existing solar installations. “Electrification marks a new era for the transport industry,” explains Mark Templeton, Sustainability Manager, Scania Southern Africa. “Scania has passed a number of milestones on our electrification road map and we are confident we can offer our customers a credible alternative to ICE vehicles.”
