Here comes Scania Industrial Batteries, following the acquisition of Northvolt Systems’ Division
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. It follows Scania’s acquisition and carve-out of Northvolt Systems’ Industrial Division in April 2025.
Headquartered in Sweden, Scania Industrial Batteries is the new organisation dedicated to off-road and industrial applications such as mining, construction and material handling. This launch follows Scania’s acquisition and carve-out of Northvolt Systems’ Industrial Division in April 2025. All this deals with Scania’s off-road portfolio, which includes a fully electrified solution, covering battery systems, electric motors, software, connectivity and dedicated support services.

Scania Industrial Batteries, thinking mainly about the off-road sector
According to Scania, the market for electric off-road equipment is expanding rapidly. The Swedish giant sees increasing adoption of electrified solutions in sectors such as construction and mining, where the benefits are particularly evident. Electrification delivers significant energy cost savings and enables substantial long-term emissions reductions, key factors for energy-intensive industries.
Scania reinforces its role as a leader in both on-road and off-road electrification with a battery portfolio that now includes solutions for buses, trucks and industrial off-road applications. The new battery systems, compatible with Scania’s existing electric powertrain components, enable faster development, testing, and deployment, helping OEMs and end-users adopt cleaner, more efficient machinery.
“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,” said 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.”
