Customers of MAN and Scania who make use of MAN ‘Charge&Go’ or Scania ‘Charging Access’ will now be able to use Hubject’s ‘Intercharge’ network of charging points.

Scania says that, with “Complete Fleet”, it addresses the fact that many operators have mixed fleets of trucks and trailers of different ages and from different manufacturers.

Testing and validation will take place at Fortescue’s iron ore operations in Christmas Creek, Western Australia.

The Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturer says it produced a new transmissions system on its main assembly line using some remanufactured parts from old gearboxes.

Scania has had a presence in Thailand since 1986 and has been represented both by private distributor and as part of the joint Scania-owned South East Asia Business Unit.

Scania promoted two new service offerings: a driver coaching app for reducing fuel consumption in combustion engine trucks and a comprehensive service portfolio for the whole of Europe.

The G38 can handle up to 3,800 Nm of torque, making it well-suited to the 16-litre V8, which can deliver a maximum torque of 3,700 Nm.

The new charging services company will, according to Scania’s own description, “[specialise] in private and semi-public charging solutions”.

The Series B investments bring the Canadian startup’s total invested capital to USD280m.

With the standard tank option storing LNG, the Touring can cover more than 1,000 km before needing to refuel.

Orders can now be placed for Scania’s 40-tonne tipper truck, installed with the company’s own self-driving software which it has tested over six years in mining operations in Australia.

Mats Harborn, president of Scania China Group, said he sees “tremendous potential” in China's economic transformation, adding that the country’s focus on technology and high-quality development will help foreign companies do business there in the long term.
