Scania, Traton’s Sweden-based truck brand, is pushing forward with a hybrid approach as a stepping-stone toward full electrification.
The Traton Group (which is in the process of buying Navistar) announced it is investing $1.9 billion in research and development of e-mobility by 2025, and cutting its investment in traditional drivetrains.
ASKO, Norway’s largest grocery wholesaler, is going a little greener with the help of four electric Scania trucks powered by Cummins’ hydrogen fuel cell modules.
The OEM revealed a prototype for a battery-electric drive version of its International MV medium-duty truck, dubbed the eMV, which is slated to come to market by early 2021.
At an Innovation Day event in Sweden, Traton Group outlined the company's plans to share technology between its divisions and invest in electromobility.
Scania's new NXT electric, self-driving concept vehicle can be quickly reconfigured to meet changing fleet needs in the course of a single work day. It can be a commuter bus in the morning and evening, for example, and a refuse truck overnight.
The city of Stockholm, Sweden, banned trucks from making deliveries at night to reduce noise levels. But a new pilot program will test quieter hybrid trucks for overnight deliveries to McDonald's restaurants in the area.
