Scania Innovation Factory
Innovation factory challenges Scania's business model
With Innovation Factory, Scania addresses the disruptive changes in the ecosystem of transport and logistics and stimulates new innovations outside of Scania’s core business.
The intrapreneurship programme, Scania Innovation Factory, was launched to give our employees the skills and support to develop bright ideas and bring them to market. The purpose is also to create an entrepreneurial pathway through the company that drives innovation faster with less risk, but also to develop new business models and actual revenue streams. Each year, two to four selected teams are given leave from their regular duties to test and validate their innovative business idea as part of their employment.
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.
