Swedish sustainable transport solutions provider Scania Group has launched its Scania Industrial Batteries business which is dedicated to off-road and industrial applications, including the materials handling sector.

Scania Industrial Batteries will be headquartered in Sweden and follows Scania’s April 2025 acquisition of the industrial division of green battery technology developer Northvolt Systems.

Scania says this allows it to now “deliver a fully integrated solution” for customers.

Scania's off-road portfolio includes a fully electrified solution, covering battery systems, electric motors, software, connectivity and dedicated support services, developed in collaboration with OEMs and operators.

“With this new offering, we aim to lead the electrification of off-road applications and support our customers in making the transition to sustainable solutions,” says Gustaf Sundell, executive vice president and head of ventures and new business with Scania. 

“By combining the agility and speed of our newly acquired company with Scania's deep engineering expertise and extensive global network, we are well positioned to accelerate electrification in the toughest off-road environments.”

Scania currently offers industrial battery packs for a wide range of industrial applications from 21 to 624 kWh, up to 1000V.

Scania says the market for electric off-road equipment is expanding rapidly with electrification delivering energy cost savings and enabling substantial long-term emissions reductions.

Scania employs more than 50,000 people in 100 countries and has manufacturing facilities in Gdansk, Poland, and an R&D centre in Stockholm, Sweden.
