Scania improves electrification iun off-road applications

Scania Power Solutions is balancing its focus between upgrading ICE technology and strengthening its electrification efforts, including for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) and, as we suppose, power generation units. Scania’s off-road portfolio includes battery systems, electric motors, software, connectivity and dedicated support services.

Core and Compact Scania platforms for electrification

With the two product platforms Core and Compact, Scania Industrial Battery packs simplify electrification across a wide range of industrial applications from 21 to 624 kWh, up to 1000 V. The solutions are available as part of a complete electric powertrain, or as stand-alone products, and are designed and manufactured in Europe.

Transitioning from combustion engines to electric powertrains presents complex challenges, including the need for high-capacity batteries and precisely engineered e-machines to meet power, voltage, and thermal demands. These solutions are developed in close collaboration with OEMs and operators to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions in the world’s most demanding operations.

According to Gustaf Sundell and Elin Åkerström

“With this new offering, we aim to lead the electrification of off-road applications and support our customers in making the transition to sustainable solutions,” says Gustaf Sundell, Executive Vice President and Head of Ventures and New Business at Scania. “By combining the agility and speed of our newly acquired company with Scania’s deep engineering expertise and extensive global network, we are wellpositioned to accelerate electrification in the toughest off-road environments.”

“Batteries are not just energy tanks; they’re critical systems that impact performance, efficiency, and uptime. With our deep expertise and experience in battery systems, we support customers from concept to deployment and after-sales support. Customers can rely on Scania for high-quality battery systems engineered for uptime, performance, and sustainability, powering off-road vehicles in the toughest environments”, says Elin Åkerström, CEO Scania Industrial Batteries.

In Poland and in Sweden

Scania Industrial Batteries meets market demand through a modular, compact design, ensuring seamless integration across platforms and supporting operations from industrial forklifts to excavators. With manufacturing facilities in Gdańsk, Poland, and an R&D centre in Stockholm, Sweden, the division builds on more than seven years of experience, having delivered thousands of battery systems with over 12 million operating hours across mining, construction, and agricultural equipment.
