A holistic approach towards sustainable transport
Our sustainable transport solutions are developed in close cooperation with our customers and other stakeholders and rest on three pillars:
- Energy efficiency, the most efficient technology for our products combined with services focusing on powertrain performance, vehicle optimisation and fuel consumption.
- Renewable fuels and electrification, the largest variety of engines for renewable fuels and electrifications technologies for vehicles and infrastructure.
- Smart and safe transport, through connectivity create more efficient logistical flows and greater filling rate.
Partnership is crucial for reshaping the ecosystem of transport and logistics and Scania is collaborating with society, policy makers, operators and customers.
