The new FL and FE Electric trucks can be ordered now, with deliveries beginning in the first half of next year. 

The deal includes the Proterra development centre for battery modules and packs in California and an assembly factory in South Carolina. Whilst details remain sparse at this point, the deal is expected to close in early 2024 and remains subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

The chassis is being introduced as a low-entry 4x2 option for city, suburban, and regional applications.

The first construction phase of 'Northvolt Six' will begin at the end of this year, with a target of a 30-GWh annual capacity when completed in 2026.

Together with the regional electric truck, Scania is introducing a new electric powertrain, called 'EM C1-4', which is more powerful than the drive systems installed in its lighter distribution and tipper trucks.

Using the 'Volvo Connect' application, drivers can find nearby charging stations, check their availability, and pay to use the charger.

Subject to regulatory approval, the joint venture will be launched in 2024, with both partners pledging to invest EUR300m each over the next three years.

A Reuters report yesterday announced that the Swedish-based electric vehicle startup has decided to file for bankruptcy in its home country.

Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong - all are RHD markets i.e. drive on the left - are the first markets to receive Scania's battery electric trucks.

The first project, beginning this year, will take place at a mine in Garpenberg, Sweden.

Volvo says it will begin receiving steel products from the mill in mid-2026, though H2 Green Steel has stated that customer deliveries will start in 2027.

Scania says it is working with Spanish coachbuilder Irizar to integrate the ‘i6s Efficient’ with a Scania gas-powered chassis, with a target completion date of end-of-2025.
