Scania presented its fully electric truck in Brazil, promising to revolutionize cargo transportation with 250 km of autonomy and recharging in just 30 minutes.

If there is one sector that is transforming the way we think about sustainability, it is heavy transport.

The electric revolution has finally reached the heart of Brazilian roads, and the spotlight is now on the recently launched truck Scania's 100% electric vehicle, a milestone that promises to change the cargo transportation scenario in the country.

With its impressive capacity and autonomy that defies traditional models, this innovation raises the question: is the future of heavy-duty transport silent, sustainable and electric?

HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES โ€“ FREE MARKET

Scania, known for developing robust and efficient trucks, is now bringing a bold bet to Brazil: the Scania 30 G 4ร—2, a machine that combines power, sustainability and energy efficiency.

According to information from the company itself, this is the brand's first fully electric truck in the country, and the model already stands out for its autonomy of up to 250 kilometers on a single charge, a feature that aligns with the decarbonization plans of Brazilian fleets.

Outstanding power and autonomy

The new electric Scania has a power of 310 hp and torque of 1.150 Nm, making it one of the most robust vehicles among current electric trucks.

These specifications allow the truck to perform heavy-duty tasks without sacrificing sustainability.

Furthermore, it is capable of carrying up to 66 tons, showing that the transition to clean alternatives does not imply a loss of capacity or performance for the heavy transport sector.

The Scania 30 G truck is imported directly from Sweden, which reflects the brand's investment in bringing the most modern automotive technology to Brazil.

This is an important development for carriers who are already facing increasing pressure to adopt more responsible environmental practices, given that the model allows, according to the company, meet carbon emission reduction targets with great efficiency.

Innovative batteries and fast charging

Another difference of this electric truck is in its battery system. The model features lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) batteries, known for their high energy density.

With a total of 416 kW of installed power, of which 312 kWh are usable, it guarantees the autonomy needed to travel long distances without frequent recharging..

This is a significant advance for electric trucks, where battery range and weight are critical factors.

The battery, made up of two 208 kW packs, uses the CCS2 charging system, which allows it to reach full charge in approximately 50 minutes, when connected to chargers with a capacity of up to 375 kW.

This recharge time offers flexibility for drivers who can take advantage of breaks during the day, such as meal breaks, to quickly recharge the vehicle, optimizing their journey.

Transmission technology and design designed for efficiency

The 30 G also features a four-speed electric transmission system, with optimized gear ratios (18.60, 10.26, 5.02 and 2.77), which ensure smooth and constant performance even on the most demanding routes.

The EMC1-4 electrical machine, located between the chassis side members, is designed to reduce energy consumption and maximize performance.

This focus on technology and efficiency positions the Scania 30 G not just as a truck, but as a complete transport solution for companies looking to combine efficiency and sustainability in their operations.

This strategy responds to the growing demand for vehicles that meet environmental commitments, an increasingly urgent issue in various sectors of the economy..

Scania: Price, warranty and commitment to the environment

The investment required to acquire this new product, however, is high.

With an estimated value of R$2,5 million, Scania's electric truck has a warranty of up to 1,2 million kilometers, offering security for transporters willing to invest in cutting-edge technology.

According to the company, the price reflects not only the innovation involved, but also the potential for long-term savings, as the electric model tends to reduce fuel and maintenance costs.

In summary, the launch of the Scania 30 G in Brazil is a significant milestone for sustainable transport.

With a combination of autonomy, power and speed of recharging, the model sets a new standard for the automotive industry and responds to the Brazilian market's demands for greener and more efficient solutions.

With a robust warranty and a focus on reducing carbon emissions, Scania takes an important step towards enabling a significant change on Brazil's highways and roads.

Fill the trunk with a solar panel to power the batteries and you have a truck that doesn't need partial recharging, it would always run full, just think it would be great.

300 kW equals 408 hp, not 310 hp

250 km for a truck... that's a joke, right? Heavy vehicles travel almost 1.000 km per day. That would be 4 daily recharges. And another thing, where is there free energy to charge vehicles... LOL. In Brazil, there's no future, that only works in Europe.

The right thing would be a V8 engine powered by ethanolโ€ฆ. With a compression ratio of 14.5 and direct injection,โ€ฆ It would solve the pollution problem compared to diesel.

It would be the first electric truck in Brazil if Jac hadn't launched about 3 truck models first
