    Scania pledges to decarbonisation target in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C

    Scania responds to the call by the United Nations for business to step up and take bolder actions in tackling climate change. This includes committing to set a science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the pace and scale that science dictates.“Business has a vital role to play in limiting global warming and building the net-zero carbon economy of the future. Deciding to step up and signing the United Nations plea reinforces the work that we are already committed to, which is to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport sector,” says Scania’s President and CEO, Henrik

    Nobina and Scania pioneer full length autonomous buses in Sweden

    Scania and Nobina, the largest public transport operator in the Nordic countries, will collaborate to commence trials of autonomous buses on regular routes in the Stockholm area.“The technology is now sufficiently mature to initiate trials in actual bus operations on public roads, making the project one of the first of its kind in Europe with buses this size,” says Karin Rådström, Head of Buses and Coaches, Scania. “The project will provide a wealth of information in the further development of large autonomous buses before a full-scale introduction.” The trials will be conducted in two

    Silent overnight deliveries test uses hybrid truck

    A pilot study to test silent overnight deliveries has been launched at six McDonald’s restaurants in Stockholm, Sweden using a hybrid truck from Scania operated by HAVI.Heavy vehicles are normally restricted from driving in Stockholm’s city centre at night, due to noise. Instead, delivery access often happens when shops and restaurants are preparing for the start of the day’s business, during the morning rush hour. To minimise delivery trucks getting stuck in traffic or causing queues, the city of Stockholm is now broadening its pilot study of overnight deliveries. The deliveries

    Sanpellegrino reduces emissions and noise with gas fuelled trucks from Scania

    With the delivery of Scania R 410 liquified gas trucks, all of Gruppo Sanpellegrino’s shuttle transports from the mineral water bottling plant at San Pellegrino Terme to its logistics centre at Madone are now operated on gas fuel.Sanpellegrino in 2018 produced 1.5 billion bottles of mineral water, that are exported to more than 150 countries. Growth over the past years has been strong and continues to increase. Sanpellegrino will this spring start construction of a major extension of its production facilities. That means more transports on the narrow winding roads through villages in the

    Scania: Multiple technologies needed for fossil-free future

    Battery electric vehicles will be instrumental in achieving a fossil-free commercial transport system by 2050 in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. However, biofuels used in internal combustion engines constitute the best near-term alternative.“We are developing all alternative technologies bearing in mind their commercial viability,” says Christian Levin, Head of Sales and Marketing at Scania. “It would be futile to launch products that fail to meet the business reality of our customers. The basic premise must be that the technology offers a

    Scania to supply “Trucks for German eHighways” research project

    The German Government has today decided to co-finance a research project to test and develop electric road technology for eHighways. Volkswagen Group Research together with Siemens will develop technology and electric hybrid long-haulage trucks supplied by Scania for the German eHighway research project. This research is a pre-phase before the start-up of three different test areas on German public roads, with electric power supplied from overhead lines.The project, “Trucks for German eHighways”, aims to reduce carbon emissions from long-haul heavy-duty commercial vehicles. During 2019 and

    Commercial transport can be fossil-free by 2050

    A fossil-free commercial transport system in the timeframe of the Paris Agreement target is not only possible, but also financially attractive from a societal perspective. This is the key conclusion of a study initiated by Scania.“Reaching zero CO2 emissions in our sector in the timeframe of the Paris Agreement is attainable but will call for change at an unprecedented high speed, and for serious and joint private and public sector commitment,” says Henrik Henriksson, Scania’s President and CEO. A comprehensive analysis undertaken by Scania, and reviewed by an external academic panel,
