Scania tests self-driving trucks in motorway traffic
Scania has been granted permission by the Swedish Transport Agency to test self-driving trucks on the E4 motorway between Södertälje and Jönköping. The tests will occur in collaboration with TuSimple, which is a leader in the development of autonomous vehicles and a key partner in Scania’s and TRATON group’s investment in this field.The trucks will enter commercial service with the Scania Transport Laboratory and will be loaded with goods for Scania’s production operations. The tests will cover technology according to level 4 on the 5-point SAE scale for self-driving vehicles, which means

Not only does the plant reduce energy cost, the big gain is the reduced environmental impact. The solar cell plant is an important measure in line with the Beijer Alma group’s sustainability strategy.
