Scania has launched its concept for hybrid and fully electric power systems.

"Our in-house developed electrification concept draws on our experience from electrifying on-road vehicles," says Scania SVP, Joel Granath.

"With Scania's long-standing excellence in producing engines that operate on diesel and alternative fuels, we now embark upon the next stage in development, namely carbon-mitigating electrified systems."

The electrified power systems provide performance in compact designs. All components are controlled by a common management system. The single system management interface and the single mechanical interface – CAN J1939 and SAE 1 – will remain as previous and simplify integration with external components. 

The Scania systems will be both modular and scalable, allowing customers to select from and combine a number of components based on the application and specific demands.

With a potential CO2 emission reduction of up to 92%, Scania's hybrid electric system combines an e-machine with a combustion engine – either together or as stand-alone power sources. The hybrid electric system can be deployed in, for example, excavators, dump trucks, stone crushers, mobile cranes, concrete pumps, as well as in airport crash tenders.

For the marine segment, the system can be beneficial in, for instance, commuter vessels, pilot vessels and fish farm support vessels.

Scania maintains the hybrid solution improves powertrain performance. Fuel consumption is significantly reduced while lowering operational costs, noise and emissions. With the e-machine bolt on the engine and its speed range adapted to that of the engine, no additional gearbox is required. This minimises energy loss and facilitates equipment design and installation.

The fully electric system enables a potential CO2 emission reduction of up to 98% if the electricity is generated from renewable sources.
