Scania is reporting a 40% increase in the sales of hybrid and alternative fuelled heavy commercial vehicles globally in 2016, nearly 5000 units.
The manufacturer says this number is proof of the company’s efforts to lead the shift towards a sustainable transport system.
“The demand for vehicles that support the transition to sustainable transport is growing, and so is the demand for services that help fleet owners in reducing fuel consumption, carbon emissions and cost,” says Scania chief executive officer and company president Henrik Henriksson.
“This proves that sustainability and profitability go hand in hand,” says Henriksson.
Scania trained nearly 40,000 of its customers’ drivers in fuel-efficient driving in 2016. A year-on-year increase of 30%.
Ecolution by Scania, is another area that has shown significant growth. A consultancy service that on average saves 12% of fuel and C02 emissions for customers.
The amount of Ecolution by Scania contracts signed in 2016 increased by 37% from 2015 to more than 2700.
For more than 25 years, Scania has produced commercial biofuel solutions, and today the company says it provides the largest variety of engines for alternative fuels on the market.
