A zero-emission solution is a vital step towards the decarbonisation of construction logistics.
Scania, Unicon – Denmark’s leading producer and supplier of ready-mixed concrete – and Liebherr-Mischtechnik have jointly developed and deployed a fully electric solution for concrete transport. It is a hugely important addition to the segment that demonstrates how even one of the most energy-intensive and complex transport applications can be electrified in real-world operations, moving beyond projects towards scalable deployment.
The solution combines a battery-electric Scania truck with a fully integrated electric concrete mixer system. By enabling zero tailpipe emissions in demanding building site environments, the project provides an emphatic argument for the decarbonisation of construction logistics.
Concrete transport has long been considered one of the most challenging segments to electrify due to its high energy demand, variable operating conditions, and the need to power auxiliary equipment such as mixers. The solution developed by Scania, Unicon, and Liebherr addresses these challenges through a systems approach, where the vehicle, application, and energy use are optimised together. (....)
