Scania Partnership Demonstrates Commercially Viable Electric Long-Haul Trucking in Europe

Scania, together with LOTS Group, JUNA Technologies and logistics carrier HAWA, is operating one of Europe’s longest battery-electric truck corridors, demonstrating that high-utilisation electric long-haul transport is already commercially viable.

30 Second Takeaway A Scania-led partnership is operating a 1,250-kilometre battery-electric truck corridor in daily commercial service across central Europe, showing that electric long-haul transport can meet demanding schedules through integrated planning, data-driven operations, and scalable zero-emission logistics. Scania Battery-Electric Long-Haul Truck Corridor Scania, working with its ventures LOTS Group and JUNA Technologies, alongside logistics carrier HAWA, is operating what is described as one of Europe’s longest battery-electric truck routes, signalling a major shift in the commercial viability of electric long-haul transport. The 1,250-kilometre corridor runs across central Europe and is already in daily commercial operation, supporting high-utilisation freight movements under real-world conditions. Integrated, Data-Driven Transport Model The project combines complementary capabilities across the partnership: LOTS Group’s Pathfinder platform for AI-driven route and capacity planning JUNA Technologies’ electrified vehicle solutions, supporting flexible access to electric truck capacity HAWA’s logistics and operational expertise, delivering day-to-day transport execution Together, the partners provide a fully integrated, end-to-end zero-emission transport solution, addressing planning, vehicle deployment, and operational reliability. AI-Optimised Route Planning and Risk Reduction The Pathfinder platform plays a central role in the corridor’s operation. It is used to analyse: Route characteristics Shipment flows Charging requirements Infrastructure constraints By simulating multiple operating scenarios before deployment, Pathfinder helps: Optimise route design Reduce operational risk Maintain service quality Improve cost efficiency This approach enables customers to reduce CO₂ emissions while maintaining reliable transport performance. Designed for Scalability The electric corridor has been developed with scalability as a core principle. Continuous analysis of live operational data allows the network to: Adapt to new freight flows Expand capacity as customer demand increases Integrate additional charging infrastructure over time This flexible model supports gradual growth without compromising reliability or utilisation rates. Lowering Barriers to Electric Adoption JUNA Technologies supports adoption through a pay-per-use model, giving logistics operators access to electric truck capacity without the high upfront investment typically associated with battery-electric fleets. This approach lowers both financial and operational barriers, making electric long-haul transport accessible to a wider range of customers. Challenging Assumptions About Electric Long Haul According to the partners, the project demonstrates that electric heavy trucks can already handle: Demanding inter-city routes Tight delivery schedules High annual utilisation Year-round commercial operation The initiative challenges the assumption that electric long-haul road transport will only become viable toward the end of the decade, showing instead that data-driven planning and integrated operations can deliver zero-emission corridors at scale today. About Scania Scania is a global provider of transport solutions, specialising in heavy trucks, buses, engines, and services. Headquartered in Sweden, Scania focuses on driving the shift toward sustainable transport systems through electrification, digitalisation, and operational efficiency. Through strategic partnerships and venture initiatives, Scania works to accelerate the commercial adoption of low- and zero-emission transport across global logistics networks. Website: https://www.scania.com/ About LOTS Group LOTS Group develops AI-driven logistics planning solutions, including the Pathfinder platform, which enables data-led route design, capacity optimisation, and risk reduction for complex transport operations. About JUNA Technologies JUNA Technologies provides electrified vehicle solutions for heavy transport, supporting flexible adoption through innovative business models such as pay-per-use electric truck access. About HAWA HAWA is a logistics carrier operating commercial freight services across Europe, contributing operational expertise and real-world execution to advanced transport and sustainability initiatives. Frequently Asked Questions How long is the electric truck corridor operated by Scania and its partners? The corridor spans approximately 1,250 kilometres across central Europe. Is the route operating commercially or as a pilot? The route is operating in daily commercial service, supporting real customer shipments. What role does AI play in the project? AI-driven planning via LOTS Group’s Pathfinder platform is used to optimise routes, charging strategies, and operational performance. How does JUNA help reduce adoption barriers? JUNA offers a pay-per-use model, allowing operators to access electric truck capacity without large upfront investments.
