SÖDERTÄLJE, Sweden - Scania is strengthening its electrification portfolio with the launch of Scania Industrial Batteries, headquartered in Sweden. The new organization is dedicated to off-road and industrial applications such as mining, construction and material handling.
This launch follows Scania's acquisition and carve-out of Northvolt Systems' Industrial Division in April 2025, positioning Scania Industrial Batteries to deliver a fully integrated solution now available to customers.
Scania's off-road portfolio includes a fully electrified solution, covering battery systems, electric motors, software, connectivity and dedicated support services – all engineered to meet the demanding conditions of challenging terrains.
With the two product platforms Core and Compact, Scania Industrial Battery packs simplify electrification across a wide range of industrial applications from 21 to 624 kWh, up to 1000 V. The solutions are available as part of a complete electric powertrain, or as stand-alone products, and are designed and manufactured in Europe.
Transitioning from combustion engines to electric powertrains presents complex challenges, including the need for high-capacity batteries and precisely engineered e-machines to meet power, voltage, and thermal demands. Scania is addressing these challenges through a comprehensive portfolio of electric powertrain components, from battery systems to e-machines. These solutions are developed in close collaboration with OEMs and operators to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions in the world's most demanding operations.
Gustaf Sundell, Executive Vice President and Head of Ventures and New Business at Scania, said, "With this new offering, we aim to lead the electrification of off-road applications and support our customers in making the transition to sustainable solutions. By combining the agility and speed of our newly acquired company with Scania's deep engineering expertise and extensive global network, we are well positioned to accelerate electrification in the toughest off-road environments."
The new battery systems, compatible with Scania's existing electric powertrain components, enable faster development, testing, and deployment, helping OEMs and end-users adopt cleaner, more efficient machinery.
Elin Åkerström, CEO Scania Industrial Batteries, said, "Batteries are not just energy tanks; they're critical systems that impact performance, efficiency, and uptime. With our deep expertise and experience in battery systems, we support customers from concept to deployment and after-sales support. Customers can rely on Scania for high-quality battery systems engineered for uptime, performance, and sustainability, powering off-road vehicles in the toughest environments."
