With the aim of shedding a light on its electrification journey, Scania is bringing six electric trucks to an Europe-wide roadshow. The latter started in mid-August and will go on until mid-December. Indeed, the events, which started in Denmark and end in Sweden after a 20,000-km journey all over Europe, will also act as a conversation starter for battery charging strategies. Here are all the information about the roadsow and the various stages in Europe.

Scania European electric roadshow

The trucks on display cover urban, tipper, hooklift, tractor and refuse collection applications. They will be charged on multiple occasions during the tour at chosen charging points throughout the continent. According to Scania, the roadshow is a bold new initiative in the company’s efforts to explain, promote and provide its solutions and ecosystem for electric transport.

“We understand that many operators still have questions and concerns about electric transport,” says Alexandra Österplan, E-mobility stream leader at Scania. “So, rather than sitting back and assuming people will come to us, we are driving our electric trucks to where they are so they can see and experience for themselves the business benefits that electrification can bring, as well as address their queries about electric vehicle batteries and provide advice on charging technologies and strategies”.
