Partnership approach
Making transport sustainable is a team effort. That is why we are working with others across our industry and beyond to drive the transition forward.
Shifting to sustainable transport involves widespread change across the entire ecosystem of transport, from infrastructure and energy systems to policy frameworks and financing models.
By forging partnerships with other key actors throughout the transport value chain and remaining close to our customers, we help drive the changes that no company can achieve on its own, accelerating progress toward a climate-neutral transport system and circular business models.
Transport industry partnerships and customer collaboration
We are part of several cross-sector collaborations pushing for policy changes to accelerate the adoption of sustainable transport solutions. Partnerships of this kind serve as important enablers for engagement and activation at global forums, such as the annual UN COP meetings.
Through our Pilot Partner programme, we test new technologies with customers and infrastructure providers. Collaboration across the supply chain targets emissions from key materials. Meanwhile we work as part of industry associations to strengthen collective action.
Customer collaborations
At Scania we work with our customers as trusted advisors and partners. We develop a deep, holistic understanding of every customer’s entire transport flow, covering not only their own transport needs, but also the needs of their customers.
Axel Johnson's electrification journey
With accurate analyses based on digital tools and extensive data from Axel Johnson’s large truck fleet, Scania supports the company in its transition to battery-electric and sustainable transport.
Joined forces between Scania and LKAB
Scania and LKAB are both operating in industries currently undergoing shifts to reach a higher level of sustainability. The two companies have joined forces to operate electric vehicles in LKAB’s mines, a step towards sustainable transport for this industry.
Electrification – a shared journey
Driving the shift is not something we can do on our own, we need to be involved in strategic partnerships. Here's an example of that. Electrolux, Gruber and Scania, all striving for the same goal: a more sustainable future.
Enabling conditions for change
Scania is ready for the shift. The products, services and solutions are here. The partnerships and investments are in place. The challenge is no longer the technology, but in ensuring the conditions and incentives that make fossil-free transport the natural choice for customers.
Creating these conditions calls for political courage, clarity and leadership. That is why we are urging governments and policymakers to match our ambition with decisive action. We are calling on policymakers to do what is necessary to make sustainable alternatives price competitive with fossil fuels, and to accelerate the transition at scale.
The Sustainable Transport Forum is an initiative created by Scania that brings together key stakeholders across the transport ecosystem to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport. Hear Christian Levin, President and CEO of Scania and the TRATON Group, share his views on what is needed to accelerate the transition to a sustainable transport system.
Innovation collaborations and projects
We work with others to co-create technologies and solutions and to accelerate systemic change necessary for sustainable transport. Through partnerships like these, we are exploring 5G capabilities for autonomous transport, building a public, high-capacity charging network and developing zero-emission freight corridors for heavy transportation, to give a few recent examples.
We collaborate with global universities to explore new technologies, business models and systemlevel transformation. These partnerships support research focusing on areas such as autonomous and electrified transport, software-defined vehicles and circular economy.
