Scania Unveils Electric Long-Haul Truck With 720 km Range

Södertälje, Sweden – September 17, 2026 -- Scania has engineered an electric long-haul truck configuration capable of up to 720 kilometres of range, combining expanded battery capacity with megawatt charging system (MCS) support to tackle one of freight electrification's toughest segments.

Battery packs behind the cab add 356 kWh of capacity

In a typical configuration, two MP20 battery packs mounted behind the cab add approximately 356 kWh of installed capacity, supplementing existing chassis- and under-cab-mounted batteries. This layout lets operators scale energy storage without solely depending on chassis-mounted batteries, giving fleets more flexibility to balance range against payload on demanding routes.

Scania Cuts Truck Energy Use 2% With Dynamic Update

Södertälje, Sweden – September 17, 2026 -- Scania has launched Scania Dynamic, a comprehensive update to its R- and S-series trucks that cuts total energy consumption by around 2 percent while overhauling the driver's cab environment.

Aerodynamic redesign drives the efficiency gain

The 2 percent energy reduction, which varies by vehicle specification and operation, stems from exterior changes that lower air drag. These include digital rear-view mirrors, side skirt extensions, redesigned A-pillars, new door handles and a front end built to support Increased Vehicle Dimension legislation. Scania says the efficiency improvement applies across both combustion and battery-electric powertrains, translating into lower fuel use for diesel fleets and reduced electricity draw for electric trucks.
