Scania expands energy infrastructure business with new charging venture
Scania is scaling its investment in heavy-duty charging infrastructure, reporting rapid growth for its subsidiary Erinion.
Truck manufacturer Scania is expanding its service portfolio to include energy and charging infrastructure as part of a strategic shift toward electric transport. The company’s new subsidiary, Erinion, provides end-to-end depot charging solutions, including hardware, software, and financing for heavy-duty fleet operators.
Since its launch, Erinion has expanded into seven European markets. According to Scania, depot-based charging can provide up to 85 percent of a fleet’s total energy requirements. To further bolster these capabilities, Scania has also acquired Northvolt Systems Industrial, aiming to integrate advanced battery systems into its broader portfolio of industrial solutions.
Jonas Hernlund, head of Scania’s Energy and Infrastructure sector, stated that the company plans to develop microgrid offerings to help logistics customers achieve energy self-sufficiency. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to generate revenue from infrastructure services, complementing the firm’s traditional vehicle manufacturing business.
