Business innovation
Right across Scania you’ll find disruptive commercial ideas, powerful insights and competencies that make real change happen. We explore, build, manage and invest in innovative business models and partner up with pioneering companies.
Our focus areas and investment sectors
Our three focus areas and investment sectors capture the growth opportunities emerging from the industry transformation.
Circularity and asset management
The circularity and materials sector is crucial for making the industry more sustainable. It combines new ideas in materials, recycling, and eco-friendly designs to make the industry greener. Using principles of circularity is important for protecting the environment but also for providing great business opportunities moving the focus from tailpipe emissions to material usage.
Autonomous solutions and supply chain
The autonomous and supply chain sector is the link to innovative technology and strategic business practices. With the shift to electrification, connectivity, and automation, this sector will play an increasingly important role in steering the industry towards a prosperous, sustainable, and digitally enhanced transport and logistics ecosystem.
Energy and infrastructure sector
The energy and infrastructure sector is essential, serving as the backbone that supports the evolution of the transportation industry. Investment in innovative and sustainable solutions within this space is not only likely to yield significant financial returns but also contribute to the broader push towards a more sustainable and efficient transportation ecosystem.
