Scania: Electric trucks for medium tours 🎥
TOTALLY AS NEEDED On its electric mobility roadmap, truck manufacturer Scania is now presenting a new model line designed specifically for daily use and medium delivery distances.
From now on, Scania will offer customers new electric models every year. Vehicles for inner-city delivery traffic are now joined by battery-electric trucks for regional transport.
The new model series with a battery capacity of 624 kWh is available with R or S cabs. It offers companies many possible uses in regional applications.
No performance disadvantages in everyday life
The new electric generation is based on classic cornerstones such as modularity and sustainability. The vehicles are on a par with conventional models in terms of performance and range in their respective areas of application. But the switch from conventional to purely electric trucks is still complex. Scania therefore supports customers in all areas of e-mobility.
Fredrik Allard, Senior Vice President and Head of Electrification at Scania: "This range of solutions makes Scania a one-stop shop for companies that want to take responsibility."
Up to 400 kilometer range
With the new Scania trucks, customers can operate chassis or combinations of tractor and trailer, for example for temperature-controlled food transport. The ranges vary depending on weight, configuration and route.
A 4×2 tractor unit with six batteries, for example, can travel up to 320 kilometers on a full battery charge at an average speed of 80 km/h, and up to 400 kilometers is said to be possible for an average Swiss transport job.
The continuous power is 560 hp
The charging power is up to 375 kW. This means that one hour of charging time is enough for an additional range of 270 to 300 kilometers. The continuous power of a Scania 45 R or S is 410 kW (560 hp).
The new electric trucks can be ordered through local Scania branches from July 11, 2022, with production starting in the fourth quarter of 2023.
