A partnership story
Heavy transport goes electric
A partnership between Scania, LBC Frakt and Stora Enso is showing what is possible when the latest transport technology combines with vision and ambition. Electrification works even for the heaviest transport.
On the forested roads of Värmland, Sweden, a truck is pushing the boundaries of heavy electric transport – one delivery of woodchips at a time.
Developed by Scania in partnership with the transport company LBC Frakt and renewable packaging manufacturer Stora Enso, the heavy electric vehicle weighs up to 94 tonnes fully loaded. It can carry 36 percent more woodchips per trip than a standard truck, significantly reducing both transport frequency and carbon emissions.
A new way of thinking
Delivering a comprehensive solution requires not only a new vehicle but also a new transport ecosystem. Collaboration between companies was essential for success, with Scania playing a pivotal role as a trusted advisor and solutions provider.
Charging infrastructure was prioritised from the outset. Fast-charging hubs were built across the region, ensuring drivers could recharge during scheduled charging breaks. At every step, Scania provided support for everything from route planning and charging compatibility to vehicle specifications and driver training.
When technology meets ambition
What the partnership is proving in Värmland could be applied globally. If electrification works in the demanding environment of forestry – with its weight requirements, road conditions and long distances – it can work almost anywhere.
As Scania continues to push the boundaries of electric transport, forward-thinking customer partnerships like this are critical to building a smarter, cleaner transport system. It is a showcase for what can happen when technology, trust and ambition align.
“It’s exciting to be part of something new. This truck is better for me, better for the environment and better for the future. I feel proud to be a part of that.”
Mimmi Broström, driver at LBC Frakt.
