Indeed, Angers has been part of Scania’s industrial system for more than three decades and plays an important role in serving customers in France and across Europe. “This investment reflects our ambition to secure the long-term future of the Angers site while increasing its flexibility. We are preparing for the future, but we must remain able to adapt to changing volumes and market dynamics. The site will be capable of assembling both combustion engine and electric trucks, ensuring we can respond to evolving customer demand,” commented Petrus Sundvall, President of Scania Production Angers.
“The transition to electrified transport is not only about vehicles. It is about creating the conditions that enable transport operators to invest with confidence. Access to charging infrastructure, renewable electricity and predictable policy frameworks will be critical to accelerating the shift. Scania is investing to support this transition, but lasting progress will depend on how quickly the entire transport ecosystem can move forward together,” added Christian Levin, President and CEO of Scania.
