Scan Global expands electric truck fleet for automotive logistics

Scan Global Logistics announced the introduction of its latest electric truck, dedicated to automotive logistics.
Since early September, the e-truck has been operational, primarily serving the Gothenburg area of Sweden, providing sustainable transport solutions to the car industry, says an official release.
While primarily focused on local operations, it is also available for occasional trips to Denmark, and demand has already been strong, with several automotive customers booking its services, the release added.
"The addition of the electric truck is a direct response to customer demand, and it allows us to further strengthen our position as a trusted service provider within automotive logistics," says Marko Mladenovic, Head of Operations and Business Development, Automotive Road Europe, Scan Global Logistics.
With 3-6 trips per day depending on the route, it is already proving to be an efficient and sustainable transport solution for the automotive industry, the release added. "While the specific CO2 savings are still being calculated per trip for the customers, the truck will make a positive contribution to lowering the carbon footprint."
The first cross-border e-truck was launched a year ago together with Alfa Laval, driving between Denmark and Sweden every day. In June, Scan Global announced an e-truck service between Malaysia and Singapore, which will operate a designated lane between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur via Johor, offering cross-border FTL and LTL services, the release added.
