Scania Opens Battery Plant, Expands Electric Products
Scania, a provider of transport solutions including trucks and buses for heavy transport applications, achieved goals toward a sustainable transport system in 2023 by the opening of a battery assembly plant to enable large-scale production of electric trucks.
As published in its Annual and Sustainability Report for 2023, the company also invested in and expanded its electric product portfolio and turned supply chain decarbonization targets into formal requirements.
Scania is well on its way to reaching its Scope 1 and 2 targets, at a decrease of 42% toward a goal of 50% by 2025. Within Scope 3, when Scania's vehicles are in use, the aim is to achieve a 20% reduction by 2025. Currently its reduction is below 3% since the base year of 2015.
To continue making progress on its emission reduction targets, Scania will focus efforts on driver efficiency, optimizing vehicle specifications, promoting renewable fuels and expanding electrified solutions.
"While electrification is the ultimate answer, and we do our utmost to ramp-up production of battery electric trucks to deliver to our customers, fuel-saving actions and the usage of renewable fuels are decisive to decarbonisation here and now," said CEO Christian Levin in a statement.
