By Redação AutoIndústria | Translated by Jorge Meditsch
Scania took a key step toward transport decarbonization, inaugurating a battery assembly unit in its headquarters’ plant in Södertälje, Sweden. The new operation enables the serial production of electric trucks.
“Our aim in Scania is to push the change to a sustainable cargo system. With the battery assembly operation, we have one of the main facilitators to accelerate the change toward electrification”, said Christian Levin, Scania’s president and CEO, in a note.
Scania invested 1.5 billion Swedish crowns (about 127 million euros) in the operation. The plant will receive battery cells developed by a partnership with Northvolt to be assembled in the new unit, in an 18 thousand square meter structure. “The change into electrified solutions is the major transformation in transport history, and 2023 is the year when it really takes off”, asserted the CEO.
According to Scania, the battery assemblage close to the chassis production line just refurbished for the electrification process would create 550 new jobs.
