Scania’s new electric power solutions drive the construction and mining industries’ sustainability shift
Posted: 10-Apr-2025 |


At Bauma 2025, Scania will introduce its new all-electric and hybrid power solutions for the construction and mining sectors, complementing its existing range of fuel-efficient combustion engine options. Scania and Cometto will launch a self-propelled platform for heavy load transportation operations, powered by a fully electric Scania solution.

Scania’s unique offering provides a complete in-house developed solution for parallel hybrid operation, with a master power unit controlling it all, including the e-machine, inverter, batteries and internal combustion engine. A cooling system, charging interfaces, mechanical connection interfaces, VCB cables and other auxiliary equipment are also included.

The e-machine has an integrated clutch which not only allows it to be used as a hybrid solution but also as a fully electric solution, thereby making the future transition to full electrification a seamless process. The low noise levels in electric mode makes it ideal for use in cities, while also creating a better work environment for the operators. Hybrid mode also provides possibilities for extra power and range when needed.

The launch of this new range of electric power solutions marks the latest impressive progress in Scania’s work to make the industrial segment truly sustainable and builds upon the company’s existing and versatile range of fuel-efficient products. It means that both our fuel-efficient and zero-emission alternatives support customers’ needs now and, in the future, backed by our global service network.

In another milestone for Bauma 2025, Scania has teamed up with Italy-based company Cometto to present a new fully-electric self-propelled modular trailer (SPMT) for moving large goods, powered by Scania’s electrification solutions.

The high-torque, modular-based solution has been designed to be used for a variety of heavy industries, such as Wind, Energy, Aviation & Space, Industrial Plant Relocation and Mechanical & Plant Engineering. It boasts a number of impressive features, including a built-in charger, compact design, long battery life, fast charging capability, quiet operations, and above all, zero emissions to support a cleaner, safer environment.

After using Scania internal combustion engines in its products for many years, it’s the first SPMT with electric powerpack unit from Cometto, which is the specialist within the Faymonville Group for the development and manufacture of self-propelled modular transporters, heavy load modules and special transporters for industrial applications. Scania’s extensive investment in R&D and its electrification roadmap make it the ideal partner for Cometto’s own electrification journey.
