Scania signs huge electric truck deal
Scania and Einride sign deal to accelerate electrification of road freight in Sweden with a 110-truck fleet dealSwedish freight-technology company Einride, a leading provider of end-to-end digital, electric and autonomous shipping solutions, will begin the roll-out of 110 Scania electric trucks starting in the second half of 2022.
The 110-truck deal is the largest order of heavy duty electric trucks to date for Scania, kicking off a collaborative product development partnership with Einride.
Einride already has one of Europe’s largest heavy-duty electric fleets, and will further expand their market presence with this partnership.
The full fleet of trucks will be built to Einride's specifications and will use their Saga operating system which is the first of its kind, and ensures that electric shipping is efficient and optimised.
Fleet data insights that are generated through the Saga platform will be provided to Scania for continued product co-development between the teams.
“We are looking forward to the beginning of this vital partnership as we expand across Europe,” said Ellen Kugelberg, Chief Product Officer at Einride. “These 110 trucks will make a substantial contribution to increasing our fleet, while we will continue to join forces with renowned industry players such as Scania to drive innovation and product development in the global transport industry.”
Einride’s order is the largest deal to date of electric heavy-duty vehicles for Scania in Europe.
Fredrik Allard, Head of E-Mobility at Scania said It is only the beginning of a new long-term partnership that will contribute to both companies’ ambition to scale up electric road freight: “We share the same vision of decarbonising heavy transport,” he commented.
