2,500 vehicles order from UK
The trucks, ordered by the Consortium Purchasing Group, will be delivered to Culina Group, WS Group and A.W. Jenkinson Group.
The contract is one of Scania’s biggest single European deals and the largest battery electric truck order to be completed over one calendar year. The complete batch of 2,500 trucks is to be delivered over a period of twelve months.
The deal includes internal combustion engine trucks powered by the latest generation 13-litre Super drivetrain and 100 battery-electric trucks, some of the first Scania regional-haul battery-electric 4x2 tractor units to be used on UK roads.
Each vehicle will be supported by three years of full repair and maintenance contracts, with some trucks financed through Scania Financial Services. (ben)
