Swedish truck maker and Traton subsidiary Scania has revealed its new, electrified, hybrid and zero-emission power solutions offer to visitors at this week’s Bauma 2025 exhibition, which the company claims will give the chance to experience what it promises to be a dramatic transformation of efficiency and sustainability for the construction and mining industries.
Scania claims its unique offering will provide a complete in-house developed solution for parallel hybrid operation, with a master power unit controlling the entire truckl, including the e-machine, inverter, batteries and internal combustion engine. it said that a cooling system, charging interfaces, mechanical connection interfaces, VCB cables and other auxiliary equipment are also included.
Scania says its e-machine has an integrated clutch which not only allows it to be used as a hybrid solution but also as a fully electric solution, thereby making the future transition to full electrification a seamless process.
the company claims the low noise levels in electric mode makes it ideal for use in cities, while also creating a better work environment for the operators, while ybrid mode also provides possibilities for extra power and range when needed.
The company said that customers will benefit from a modular-based solution from Scania as a single supplier, which it said would allow easy integration, a tailored fit and services for their own specific operations, that spans a wide range of applications in the industrial segment.
The company claims the launch of the new range of electric power solutions marks the latest impressive progress in Scania’s work to make the industrial segment truly sustainable and builds upon the company’s existing and versatile range of fuel-efficient products. It means that both our fuel-efficient and zero-emission alternatives support customers’ needs now and, in the future, backed by our global service network.
“We are committed to helping our customers with their sustainability transformation,” said the director for e-Mobility Solutions at Scania Power Solutions, Björn Winblad,
“With Scania’s existing knowledge of electrification from the truck, bus and marine applications and the modular nature of our offering, we have a strong range of solutions that are diverse and adaptable for the many applications in the wider industrial sector,” Winblad said.
Scania said that in another milestone at Bauma this year it has teamed up with Italy-based company Cometto to present a new fully-electric self-propelled modular trailer (SPMT) for moving large goods, powered by Scania’s electrification solutions.
The high-torque, modular-based solution has been designed to be used for a variety of heavy industries, such as Wind, Energy, Aviation and Space, Industrial Plant Relocation and Mechanical and Plant Engineering,” Winblad added.
“It boasts a number of impressive features, including a built-in charger, compact design, long battery life, fast charging capability, quiet operations, and above all, zero emissions to support a cleaner, safer environment,” he said.
Cometto has previously used Scania internal combustion engines in its products, and after many years, this will be the first SPMTfrom Cometto to use an electric powerpack unit.
Cometto is claimed to be a specialist in the development and manufacture of self-propelled modular transporters, heavy load modules and special transporters for industrial applications and is a subsidiary of the European based Faymonville Group. Cometto said that Scania’s extensive investment in R&D and its electrification roadmap make it the ideal partner for its own electrification journey.
Product manager for Cometto Adrian Zingan claims that for more than 50 years it has been a leader in self-propelled transporters.
“We have continuously innovated to meet specialised transport needs, and our longstanding partnership with Scania has proven its expertise, reliability, and outstanding global service support through years of working with their diesel engines,” said Zingan.
“While we have successfully developed electric and hybrid solutions for special applications in the past, we chose Scania for our standardised SPMTs because their full solution integrates seamlessly into our powerpacks, ensuring top performance and efficiency,” he said.
Following Bauma Scania says one of Cometto’s self powered SPMTs has already been sold and will be delivered to one of the world’s largest heavy-lifting companies, Mammoet.
