Future technologies
The development of tomorrow’s transport system
The transport industry is experiencing one of the most transformative eras in its history. New technologies and social and economic forces are driving radical changes in our ecosystem. These changes are not only creating new transport solutions but unleashing entirely new business possibilities, transforming the very idea of what it means to be a transport solutions provider.
Scania’s research agenda
A lot of Scania’s research is carried out in-house, but we also work closely with universities, colleges and strategic partners, as well as in field tests with our customers.
Autonomous, electrified and connected transport solutions are high on the agenda, but so are solutions that use biofuels. Scania provides the largest portfolio of engines on the market that can run on alternatives to fossil fuels, ranging from ethanol trucks and buses to vehicles using liquified or compressed biogas. All of our Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines can run on biodiesel-HVO, while nearly all our vehicles can run on biodiesel-FAME. These sustainable transport solutions - available here and now - are the result of decades of intensive engine research and development work.
R&D is the place to be
Our job includes the whole chain – from research, construction and testing to production and customer vehicle quality checks. Research and development depends a lot on we and our employees' ambitions and skills, but also on how the needs and demands from customers and surroundings evolve. Scania’s goal is to maintain a broad competence base to make sure that we maintain our leading role in the transport industry.
For anyone looking forward to the future transport challenges that lie ahead of us - this is the place to be. Working at the forefront of technology, Scania’s research and development department contributes to reducing the environmental effects of transport while increasing profitability for the company and, above all, our customers.
