Axfood’s support company Dagab has taken a 64-tonne electric truck for food transports into operation in Gothenburg, Sweden. The new electric truck shows how Scania delivers smart technology for chilled and frozen food transports. Scania has also delivered a complete charging solution.
Heavy electric transports and transports of chilled foods are a challenge when it comes to technology, since it takes compatible interfaces between power outlets for temperature control and a smart integration to minimise the energy consumption for both truck and trailer. The vehicle therefore has stronger components than the electric vehicles Scania now has in series production to be able to handle the demanding operations.
This project is a part of Regional Electrified Logistics (REEL), an initiative led by CLOSER, the Swedish platform for transport efficiency, which benefits from the support of the programme Fordonsstrategisk forskning och Innovation (FFI) to pave the way for the transition to electric freight transport in the Swedish market.
