Scania has launched an electric powertrain component company, dedicated to off-road and industrial applications such as mining, construction and material handling.

Headquartered in Sweden, Scania Industrial Batteries is intended to speed up development, testing and deployment, helping OEMs and end-users adopt cleaner, more efficient machinery.

The launch follows Scania’s acquisition and carve-out of Northvolt Systems’ Industrial Division in April 2025, positioning Scania Industrial Batteries to deliver a fully integrated solution now available to customers.

Scania said that with its two product platforms Core and Compact, Scania Industrial Battery packs simplified electrification across a range of industrial applications from 21 to 624kWh, up to 1000V.

The solutions are available as part of a complete electric powertrain, or as stand-alone products.

“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,” said Gustaf Sundell, executive vice president at 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.”
