Available for viewing at Scania Malaysia Bukit Jelutong, the electric trucks are aimed at helping customers meet their Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) goals.
The vehicles are offered in both rigid truck and trailer tractor configurations.
The vehicles are equipped with a brand new driveline, improved batteries, faster and more powerful charging capabilities and get a 350km range at 40 tonnes load and 250km range at 64 tonnes max gross tonnage weight (GTW).
The new triple electric machine powertrain also provides ample electromechanical power take-off (PTO), ensuring smooth and reliable operation of temperature-controlled transports or power-hungry applications such as hook lifts.
The battery packs are now assembled in-house at Scania, to perfectly fit both the strengthened chassis and the new placement of the charging interface, on the right-hand side behind the driver's door.
Closely connected is the completely reworked heating and cooling system, keeping powertrain and battery components at their perfect operating temperature, and allowing excellent fingertips control of the cabin climate through our digital platforms.
The aerodynamics of the cab has also been further improved with wind deflector extensions to ensure every bit of energy provides the maximum distance and range.

Scania Southeast Asia managing director Heba El Tarifi said Scania has a wide range of products and services to address customers’ ESG objectives.
“One of them is Scania Ecolution way-of-working with our customers to reduce CO2 emissions over the years.
“Now with battery-electric solutions, Scania continues to be a proud leader in driving the shift towards a sustainable transport system with our customers,” she said.
Meanwhile, Mekar Angkut Sdn Bhd chairman Che Ibrahim Che Ismail said Scania had made it easier to adopt battery electric solutions through a consultative sales process.
“From charging to battery warranty, from financing to insurances, from repair and maintenance contract to driver training; the battery electric truck from Scania is optimised to suit my operations. I look forward to working more with Scania towards getting one,” he said.
