Scania intensifies endeavors to propel the transition towards environmentally friendly transportation, introducing a continent-wide battery-powered truck tour across Europe.
Scania, a leading name in the transport industry, has announced an ambitious Europe-wide battery electric truck roadshow, titled "The electric journey: an optimisation road show." The event, scheduled to take place between mid-August and mid-December 2025, will showcase six different Scania electric trucks across 13 European cities, covering a total distance of approximately 20,000 kilometers.
The roadshow aims to provide a hands-on experience for customers and potential customers, allowing them to see and experience the vehicles firsthand. The diverse truck models, tailored to different applications such as urban deliveries, tipper, hooklift, tractor, and refuse collection vehicles, will be showcased throughout the tour.
The event is not just a demonstration of technology but also a platform for discussions about battery charging strategies. Customers will have the opportunity to discuss the pros and cons of maximum battery capacity versus capacity optimized for specific operational needs. The roadshow is designed to facilitate these discussions, with the trucks being charged multiple times at selected charging points throughout the continent.
Alexandra Österplan, E-mobility stream leader at Scania, stated, "Many operators still have questions and concerns about electric transport." The roadshow is a bold new initiative in Scania's efforts to explain, promote, and provide solutions for electric transport. It serves as a conversation starter for battery charging strategies and aims to win hearts and minds towards making the switch to electric transport.
The roadshow events will also provide a platform for addressing queries about electric vehicle batteries and offering advice on charging technologies and strategies. By demonstrating the business benefits of electrification, Scania hopes to convince transport operators to embrace electric trucks where infrastructure and technology permit.
While the exact cities visited have not been detailed in the available sources, the roadshow spans 13 European locations. The diverse truck models shown alongside the integration with chosen charging points aim to educate and convince transport operators to embrace electric trucks.
