Scania decarbonises heavy transport

By 2030, 50 percent of the total vehicle sales volume is expected to be electrified.

At IAA 2022, Scania premieres its new electrified tractor for regional transport operations, its powerful solutions comprising digital and connected services as well as its charging solutions. Scania’s purpose is to drive the shift to a sustainable transport system heading for 100% electric transport. Fourteen vehicles, mostly electric, will be displayed at the IAA transport trade fair. These encompass a versatile range of vehicles that are up and running for most applications.

In their electrification journey, Scania are leaving city limits behind us and heading onto intercity motorways. To enable these long-distance motorway transports, Scania is preparing for megawatt charging to charge trucks for 45 minutes for 4.5 hours of travel. In the coming years, the electrified share of Scania’s vehicles will grow significantly.

Scania is working to decarbonise across scopes, from their industrial operation to their products when they are in use. When measuring the climate impact, Scania considers always takes the Well-to-Wheel perspective, also factoring in the origin of the energy used. Through their science based carbon reduction targets, there are clear goals for and defined priority areas for achieving these.

As Scania ramps up vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions, they are increasingly focusing on other sources of emissions. Scania have identified four “hotspots” – batteries, steel, aluminium and cast iron – which together account for more than 80 percent of carbon emission emanating from the supply chain. By 2030 Scania will cut emissions from these hotspots by between 60 to 85 percent. Source
