Field test for e-truck in rough conditions
The Norwegian postal service is currently testing a new, all-electric distribution Scania truck on the route between Oslo and Tromsø, a distance of 1,600 km.
With a battery capacity of up to 300 kWh and an estimated range of about 250 km, this is the biggest challenge for the truck so far, and also the longest trip an all-electric truck has yet encountered, Scania said. The route is demanding, with winding roads passing several mountains on the way. To date, the truck has tried roads in eastern Norway, on a route that is longer than 250 km.
Tromsø will be the truck's new workplace. It is located in the northernmost part of Norway, and the climate is subarctic. The winter season brings a lot of snow and temperatures down to -20°. (ben)
