Nordic R&D Giant: Scania Inaugurates £80M Proving Ground in Södertälje

Scania and the TRATON Group have opened a SEK 975m (£80m), 85-hectare proving ground in Södertälje, Sweden. Built to test next-generation autonomous heavy trucks, megawatt-charging battery combinations, and advanced digital safety systems under severe Nordic weather conditions, the site aims to accelerate decarbonized long-haul freight across Northern Europe.

How many years until autonomous or battery-electric heavy rigs handle main Nordic highway corridors like the E4?
