To help customers’ transition to electric transport, Scania has created a new company, Erinion, specialising in private and semi-public charging solutions. The move will see 40,000 new charging points installed at customer locations and will strengthen the Scania Group’s e-mobility offer in the future transport ecosystem, the company says.
Erinion will provide solutions for depot and destination charging, with the aim of accelerating electric commercial vehicle adoption in line with Scania’s purpose of driving the shift towards a sustainable transport system. Its solutions, Scanis says, will empower customers to seamlessly transition to zero-emission fleets with premium uptime, which will be a key factor in fulfilling Scania´s declared ambition for 50% of its sales volume in Europe to be electric by 2030.
Initially, the new company will establish its market presence in Sweden, Norway, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France and Germany. A global roll-out will follow in due course, Scania says. It will adopt a brand-agnostic approach, to ensure that businesses of all types, regardless of vehicle manufacturer, can benefit from Erinion’s charging infrastructure and operational services. Erinion plans to install a minimum of 40,000 charge points at customer locations between now and 2030.
“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,” explains Jonas Hernlund, Head of Energy and Infrastructure at Scania Group.
”In the transition, the transport system will be redefined. Our new depot charging solutions company is a great example of an initiative that will play an important role for our customers in the future transport ecosystem when transitioning to electric transport,” adds Gustaf Sundell, Executive Vice President and Head of Ventures and New Business at Scania.
