Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all

SDG 7 – Affordable and clean energy

To make the shift to fossil-free forms of transport possible here and now, Scania invests in solutions such as electrification, as well as efficient powertrains powered by biofuels

Thanks to new technologies such as electrification, the transition to a sustainable transport system is gathering pace. Electrification will ramp up in the coming years but many of our customers are not yet ready to shift to electric. Hence, for the shift to happen at the pace we need to see, we must rapidly deploy all sustainable solutions available. We need sustainable solutions using the conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) technology to cut carbon emissions from our rolling fleet. Although over half of our vehicle sale volumes will be from electric vehicles by 2030, 90 percent of Scania vehicles already on the road will still be powered by ICE. To reach the targets for curbing greenhouse gas emissions set by the Paris Agreement, it is vital that we reduce the climate impact of the non-electric vehicles currently in use by our customers.

 

For vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels can significantly reduce emissions. All our diesel vehicles can run on HVO without modification, and all our gas vehicles can run on biomethane – purified biogas. Renewable fuels can either be used alone or in combination with electrification in hybrid vehicles, for an even lower carbon impact.
