Truck manufacturer Scania has decided to stop the production and sale of hybrid trucks, both HEV and PHEV. A lack of demand in Europe is one of the reasons for this.

TTM.nl already heard some rumors about Scania's strategy regarding hybrid trucks and last fall asked Fredrik Allard, Senior Vice President Head of E-mobility at Scania Group. He confirmed that Scania will stop using HEV and PHEV trucks.

The reasons for this decision are several. “However, the basis for it is simple: there was too little demand for it. Quite strange, because our hybrid trucks work excellently and are the perfect tool for making a transition to fully electric transport. A fully electric range of 60 km is sufficient for the most inner-city tasks," a Scania spokesperson told TTM.nl.

Enough benefits and the decision to stop is not an easy one. “Would demand pick up if we kept production going for longer? Hard to say, but then we would also have had to invest to comply with the new GSR regulations, plus new battery packs would have had to be installed. This, together with the sales figures, has made us decide to put an end to the HEV and PHEV Scanias.” The exact production stop is not yet known, Scania promises to assist existing customers with service and warranty.

Scania Netherlands says in a response that it has already stopped offering hybrid trucks. The interest from the Netherlands in the Scania's HEV and PHEV has always been good. About 150 copies of Scania's hybrid trucks have been sold in recent years.
