Scania unveiled its cutting-edge line of regional electric trucks with zero emissions in June 2022, and this innovative initiative has garnered substantial orders. The manufacturing process is set to commence in Södertälje, Sweden, where they will produce trucks equipped with R and S cabs boasting a power of 400 or 450 kW, perfectly suited for a wide range of truck applications.
Allard explains, “With the exception of long-haul operations, there are few scenarios where these trucks would not meet operational needs. While some applications may remain less inclined to go electric in the near future, many buyers will be pleasantly surprised by the capabilities and efficiency of these trucks, especially when coupled with our digital services.”latest electric trucks are available in both rigid and tractor configurations, with options for both R and S series cabs.
Simultaneously, Scania is introducing the EM C1-4 family of electric machines in five different power levels, which is expected to become a significant part of Scania’s portfolio due to its flexibility and customization options. Allard notes, “When we analyze operational patterns, it often becomes clear that the majority have sufficient range, with some margin. Tippers and similar applications in urban areas often cover fewer than 200 kilometers per day. With home depot charging and Scania Charging Access for backup, range will not be an issue.”
Customers receive a consolidated invoice from Scania, regardless of the charge point operator, without any sign-up or monthly fees. Owning a Scania vehicle is the only requirement for joining Scania Charging Access.
