Scania will participate in the incoming IAA 2024, about to start in Hannover. The Swedish manufacturer has announced the presentation of a brand-new electric tractor at the German trade show. In addition, thanks to Scania’s modular approach it offers a great variety of electric machines and options regarding battery packs, chassis, power take-off solutions, cab variants and axle configurations. Indeed, here’s one of the latest e-truck deliveries made by Scania.

Also, on display at IAA, will be the famous Scania Super 460 R, the latest winner of the German Green Truck Award. In biogas, Scania’s new 13-litre truck provides customers with a choice of compressed and liquified biogas, the latter with ranges up to 1,800 kilometres.

“Customers can now benefit from greener options without adversely affecting normal operations and thereby help set the stage for a fossil-free future of heavy transport,” said President and CEO Christian Levin, Scania. “Meanwhile, electrified transport depends on a whole ecosystem. To be the best partner to our customers we must offer more than vehicles. Additionally, our support includes charging infrastructure, battery performance monitoring, dynamic route planning, financing, and many other services. Over the past two years, we’ve worked hard to get all of that in place,” says Levin.
