The Start of the Then Project with Alternative Fuels Involves an Investment of R$ 2.6 Billion from Scania

So far, information has been gathered from the press indicating that Scania will begin, in São Bernardo do Campo, the production of trucks powered by CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), and biomethane (derived from organic waste). Everything will start at Scania’s factory located in Argentina with the so-called alternative fuels.

CNG and LNG Versions

Thus, the first test versions, which are the CNG and LNG models – flex vehicles, will be launched in the national territory. Scania has even stated that imports of natural gas trucks have already occurred, but local production is unprecedented. In Sweden, this type of vehicle (with alternative fuels) has existed since mid-2014.

The Swedish headquarters of the group has been producing this type of vehicle since 2014. For production in Brazil, adaptations were made, such as reinforcements for use in harsher terrains. The idea of having trucks powered by alternative fuels could be the solution to the current economic scenario in Brazil, as this project could generate numerous job opportunities for the industry.

Delivery of Trucks with Alternative Fuels

Furthermore, it has been decided that delivery will occur in March of this year; however, some executives involved in the project have not informed even the media how many units will be sold, with prices for the new vehicles being 30% to 40% higher than the diesel versions, which start at R$ 400 thousand.

ABC and Expansion of Alternative Fuels

Scania’s factory in São Bernardo is the second largest for the Swedish group in production capacity, at 30,000 units per year. Today, the unit operates at about 75% of its capacity and employs 4,000 people. Capacity will increase if demand for products grows, Podgorski reports. The closure of Ford’s operations does not affect Scania’s business since it only produces heavy-duty vehicles. The company exports 40% of its production. In 2019, the group sold 12,700 heavy trucks, a 57.8% increase compared to the previous year. Total sales for the segment grew by 48.7%, to 51,700 units. The leader in this category is Mercedes-Benz, with sales of 14,100 vehicles last year, a volume 41.8% higher than in 2018.
