Highlights from the second quarter
Scania adds a new 6×2*4 three-axle low-entry model to its battery-electric bus portfolio. With a new e-machine, rear-axle and steered tag-axle options, plus high-speed charging, it boosts capacity, efficiency, reliability and flexibility for city, suburban and intercity routes.
At the EVS electric vehicle symposium, Scania unveils its new MCS rapid charging solution. Twice as fast as today’s CCS2 standard, it can charge truck batteries from 20 percent to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes. Commercially available from early 2026, MCS will be backed by electric charging corridors across Europe.
The new Super 11 engine from Scania weighs 85 kg less than the Super 13 and delivers up to seven percent better fuel efficiency than its nine-litre counterpart. Available in 350-430 hp, it meets Euro 4-6, shares 85 percent of the Super 13’s engine parts and extends maintenance intervals by 30 percent.
New joint R&D organisation
In April, the various TRATON Group brands’ research and development teams were unified in one group R&D organisation. All brands keep their own brand identity teams (BID) to preserve brand character and customer promise. Scania’s BID is led by CTO Sara Forsberg. This will help bring Scania’s sustainable solutions to market quicker and with increased efficiency, with the support of the common tools and principles of the unified TRATON Group R&D structure.
Scania adds new factory in China
Scania is establishing its third global industrial hub – after Europe and Latin America – in Rugao, located 150 km northwest of Shanghai. The site, designed to operate entirely on renewable energy, is a key step in increasing production capacity and driving future growth. Production will focus on vehicles with low fossil fuel consumption, serving both the Chinese market and Asian export markets. The factory is expected to open in 2025. To capture China’s technology-leading expertise in the heavy vehicle industry, a local R&D organisation has been set up, benefiting all brands within the TRATON Group.

Our decarbonisation journey
Our sustainability actions are focused on three interconnected priorities: people sustainability, decarbonisation and circular business.
