We are a growth platform
We explore
We continuously explore new ideas and business models. Some start-ups apply to our incubators from outside of Scania. Many are home-grown, with ideas born and nurtured in the Scania Innovation Factory.
We invest
Our team of investment experts is always looking for new opportunities and synergies with start-up companies across the globe, that could lead to new and disruptive technologies to help us drive real change.
We build
We don’t just identify opportunities; we bring them to life. We have the team, the processes and the resources to support new ventures to thrive in the competitive landscape.
We manage
Building a new business is not easy. It demands clarity in vision and deep commitment. That is why we take pride in managing new companies that enhance Scania’s offering.
Elain is built on the Scania platform. Will you be next?
Elain is one of our venture initiatives. Their idea was born out of Scania Innovation Factory, our intrapreneurship programme. In 2022, this team transferred to our venture building function to scale the business.
Elain’s mission is to support the transport industry to become more sustainable. They offer a service that uses data to measure and track the real CO2 footprint of a fleet of trucks and other vehicles. Elain generates value for the entire logistics ecosystem.
Innovation is all our futures.
Innovation is all of Scania.
Scania’s purpose is to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system,
creating a world of mobility that is better for business, society and the environment.
