Battery-electric transport unchanged as core of Scania’s sustainable transport strategy, but company keeping on top of other technologies and combinations as well.
Scania is all-in for electrification but it is also continuing to leave no stone unturned to better understand all forms of sustainable transport, as a recent new research initiative from its Pilot Partner programme shows.
Earlier this month at Transport.CH in Bern, Switzerland, Scania showcased its collaboration with Asko Norge AS, a longstanding partner and leader in sustainable logistics, to test hydrogen fuel cell trucks in business operations, in order to evaluate technical performance, operational feasibility, and commercial potential.
Although these vehicles are not yet available for order, they form part of Scania’s broader Pilot Partner programme, an initiative the company has established with selected customers which aims to assess electrification technology and various other solutions under daily conditions to see what they can contribute to fossil-free transport.
“By testing in real transport environments, we learn what works best in practice and how to accelerate progress,” explains Tony Sandberg, Head of Scania Pilot Partner. (....)
