TRATON GROUP

Coherent planning. More efficient, resilient production. Faster product launches and more powerful #innovation. The #TRATONModularSystem has been transforming vehicle manufacturing throughout the #TRATONGROUP since it was launched in 2021. But its heritage goes back a lot further than that… 🧰 Scania Group has been adapting components for use across different functions since the 1930s, based on the Swedish concept of the ‘bygglåda’ (‘construction kit’). Over the decades, this developed into a modular ‘toolbox’ of components that could flexibly meet different needs – thus achieving economies of scale and enabling the company to respond quickly to evolving demands. The lineage of ‘bygglåda’ continues today across our whole Group, with standardized interfaces that enable multiple uses for components, shared production with minimal duplication, and efficient R&D – so we can allocate more resources to innovations that meet the challenges of the future. 📖 Want to know the full story of #modularity at TRATON, from the 1930s to today?

The #TRATON GROUP's unit sales figures for the first half of 2024 are published today. In the second quarter of 2024, our brands Scania Group, MAN Truck & Bus SE, Navistar Inc and Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus delivered a total of 78,960 vehicles. That brings us to 160,108 for the first half of the year. The quarterly and half-year unit sales both represent a 5% decline compared to the same period last year, as the market environment continues to normalize. Within this overall figure, there are some strong highlights including year-on-year sales increases for Scania and Volkswagen Truck & Bus. MAN Truck & Bus also increased its van and bus deliveries despite operating in a weak market environment, while Navistar expects to clear its #production backlog during the second half of 2024.

🚀 Our #TRATON charging joint venture is expanding into Italy with a new charging hub in Bagnolo San Vito! 🚛 Construction is underway on Milence's first charging hub in Italy, strategically located in Bagnolo San Vito along the important Scandinavia-Mediterranean corridor. "This hub is the perfect location to kick-off our network roll-out in Italy, and will become a key node along the north-south transport corridor vital for European commerce. The future of #electric transport is now beginning in Italy as well," said Milence CEO Anja van Niersen. In its initial phase, the hub will include 4 #CCS chargers, powering 5 bays with up to 400kW of power per bay, with plans for additional bays and Megawatt Charging System (#MCS) chargers. Anticipated to be operational as early as Q3 2024, the hub will provide a reliable, high-performance charging experience for #BatteryElectric heavy-duty vehicles. This expansion is another crucial step in our mission to enable #sustainable #transportation across Europe, inspiring a greener future for all.

Did you know heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) are driving over 25% of road transport's greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, contributing to more than 6% of the total GHG emissions? These figures from the European Commission underscore the importance of transitioning to zero-emission powertrains such as #BatteryElectric vehicles or fuel cells to cut down on road freight emissions. However, effective policies are needed to ensure the infrastructure supports #BEVs. A study by the DIW Berlin - German Institute for Economic Research and the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research found that battery #ElectricTrucks powered by renewable energy are the most cost-effective option. Key findings: ✅ Efficiency: #BatteryElectric trucks are about twice as energy efficient as hydrogen #trucks. ✅ Cost-effective infrastructure: Charging networks for electric trucks are cheaper and easier to build than hydrogen refueling networks. ✅ Renewable energy expansion: Increased renewable energy sources and stronger electricity grids are necessary. At the #TRATONGROUP, we’re committed to #TransformingTransportationTogether by developing and delivering battery electric HDVs for a greener, more #sustainable future. #TRATONElectrifies #Sustainability #SustainableTransport
