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. 

On average, the e-truck will travel about 250 kilometers per day. Over the course of a year, this translates into about 60,000 kilometers of emission-free transportation. The vehicle is charged at the Siemens plant in Leipzig with electricity generated from renewable sources.

The ground-breaking collaboration and electric transition are the result of discussions initiated by IKEA Supply Chain Operations and Scania Group in 2023. Similar electric transitions for the transportation of IKEA products are also taking place in southern France and Poland.
