When Scania returned to the first IAA fair since 2018, it was with a massive demonstration of its capability for providing sustainable transport solutions.

Fourteen different vehicles were on display in three different areas. And they were fitted into a frame of services that form the industry’s broadest offer for customers intent on reducing their CO2 footprint, while also achieving the best total operating economy. Scania is tackling the climate crisis by offering sustainable customer value based on fuel efficiency, electrification and digital services such as the new “My Scania” portal.

· At this year’s IAA, Scania demonstrated how its many sustainable solutions provide for customers’ needs

· Visionary battery-electric trucks, smart urban solutions including buses, and industry-leading Scania trucks with the Super-based powertrain are supported by Scania’s digital services

· Fourteen different Scania vehicles were on display in three different areas, mirroring Scania’s industry-leading range

· Scania’s recently introduced next-level battery-electric trucks for regional haulage were on display for the first time

· Two new powerful – 420 and 460 hp – biogas truck engines from Scania made their world première at IAA

“At the IAA fair, the Scania team demonstrates that our ambition level is of the highest grade when it comes to creating sustainable transport solutions for the ecosystem of transports,” said Stefano Fedel, Executive Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing at Scania. “Our passion for providing customer value guides us while implementing cutting-edge, fossil-free solutions based on modularity and digitalisation, which are fit for the transformation our industry currently is undergoing.”

“Our industry has entered an era where make or break is closely connected to what kind of data-driven services we and our trusted partners are offering. By utilising data, everything from finance and insurance to preventive replacements and driver services can be tailored to each customer’s individual needs. We have already come far in tapping into the potential that digitalisation and electrification bring to our customers’ bottom lines.”

Scania has for many years conveyed the message that there is no silver-bullet solution available for the transport industry when fighting climate change. According to Scania, fossil-free fuels like biomethane and biodiesel plays and important role for reaching the company’s own science-based, CO2-reduction targets.

The central part of the display stand was used for exposing Scania’s wide offer of digital and connected services and charging solutions. Two new services made their debut at IAA: My Scania and the Scania Driver app. Both are set to pave the way for increased customer efficiency and profitability.

“Based on our modular thinking, we keep adding more variety and opportunities to our portfolio for all kinds of customers,” says Fedel. “The journey through this decade is fascinating since it holds more alternatives – and more uncertainty – than ever before. Navigating uncharted waters is challenging for everyone involved. It is our obligation as a leading manufacturer to offer all the relevant solutions and to support our customers by guiding them in the best possible way via partnerships.”

Scania had fourteen vehicles on display at IAA including four battery-electric vehicles, two V8s, three vehicles that have the Super-based powertrain (the industry’s most fuel-efficient powertrain), and one biomethane truck, representing the two new gas engines that Scania is introducing.

Scania is preparing for megawatt charging to charge trucks for 45 minutes for 4.5 hours of travel. In the coming years, the electrified share of Scania’s vehicles will grow significantly. Scania Super, the new (and final) powertrain for combustion engines, delivers fuel savings that typically will reach eight percent for long-haulage customers.

The extensive vehicle line-up at IAA bears witness of the broad range Scania has to offer.
