The fully electric DEM 045-090 ground unit serves as a mobile power supply for aircraft while parked on the ground, supporting a wide range of operations and facilitating battery-powered solutions for a broad spectrum of ground support equipment.
The collaboration begun in 2022, and this agreement highlights the trust placed in the reliability, flexibility, and safety of Scania’s battery systems. Dynell has already deployed hundreds of systems powered by Scania Core batteries, and expects to have around 500 units in service by 2026. This rapid expansion reflects the growing global demand for scalable, zero-emission ground support solutions.
“The partnership with Dynell is a strong validation of both our technology and our ability to deliver at scale. Integrating hundreds of Core battery systems into demanding airport environments is the result of close collaboration, deep expertise of our teams, and a shared commitment to electrification. This agreement marks a substantial step toward Scania’s strategy to support the transition to electrified low-emission solutions for industrial and off-highway applications.” said Elin Åkerström, Managing Director of Scania Industrial Batteries.
“For Dynell, this collaboration represents more than a technology partnership. It forms a cornerstone of the company’s long-term vision to help shape the next generation of airport infrastructure - quieter, cleaner, and digitally enabled. By combining Dynell’s application expertise with Scania’s proven battery technology, we are demonstrating how strong partnerships can accelerate the transformation of critical aviation systems.” said Michael Brandstötter, Head of Marketing & Sales of Dynell.
Through this partnership, Scania and Dynell are able to deliver future-ready solutions for aviation, helping customers reduce emissions, strengthen operational resilience, and accelerate the transition toward sustainable airport operations worldwide.
