Sweden, Germany- Scania CV AB., has launched Erinion, a new company focused on private and semi-public charging solutions. They plan to install 40,000 charging points at customer locations, aiming to boost electric truck adoption and support Scania's goal of 50% electric sales in Europe by 2030. Erinion will offer depot and destination charging solutions to facilitate the transition to zero-emission fleets, emphasizing premium uptime for customers.

Depot and destination charging are essential for electric truck operations, offering dedicated charging infrastructure at customer locations.

Their brand-agnostic approach ensures all businesses can benefit, aiming to install 40,000 charging points by 2030 to support the projected 230,000 electric trucks on European roads.

Mr. Jonas Hernlund, Head of Energy and Infrastructure at Scania Group, said “With our solution, customers get peace of mind and can focus on their core business, while a specialised charging unit takes care of the hardware, software, financing and operational services required to operate charging at scale with superior quality and cost efficiency.”

Mr. Gustaf Sundell, Executive Vice President and Head of Ventures and New Business, Scania Group, said “In the transition, the transport system will be redefined.
