Scania fully electric and hybrid models.
Scania launches first series of electric trucks
01 December 2020
Scania – a part of Traton SE, a world-leading provider of transport solutions – has launched its first series production range of electric trucks, a milestone in the company’s journey as it drives the transition to a more sustainable transport system.
The vehicles in the new range – a fully electric truck and a high-performance plug-in hybrid – focus initially on urban applications, including distribution to retailers.
The trucks are offered in the L- and P-series rigid format.
The Scania fully electric truck is available with either a 165 or 300 kilowatt hour (kWh) battery pack to power its 230 kilowatt (kW) electric motor, equal to 310 horsepower.
Five batteries are used for 165 kWh, with nine batteries employed for 300 kWh. In 300-kWh format, a range of up to 250 km can be achieved on a single charge.
The batteries can be conveniently charged by 130 kW DC using a Combined Charging System (CCS) connector.
The charging time is less than 55 minutes for the five-battery option and less than 100 minutes for the nine-battery option. In addition, the batteries are continuously charged in motion through regenerative braking energy.
Scania’s plug-in hybrid truck provides opportunities to travel long distances in combustion engine mode and subsequently up to 60 km in electric mode as required. Combined with renewable fuel, Scania’s plug-in hybrid enables operators to significantly reduce their impact upon the environment.
