The goal is to achieve Science-Based Targets for CO2 reduction and to provide quiet, zero-emission transportation for people and communities globally. According to a statement released by the company, Scania's e-mobility offerings include various services such as site energy and operational analysis, charging units, financing, installation, and more. These services guide organisations throughout the implementation process, ensuring reliable and efficient operations.
