Einride and Scan Sverige Partner to Electrify Refrigerated Freight
Einride and Scan Sverige, Sweden’s leading meat producer, have partnered to electrify temperature-controlled freight operations, a challenging segment to decarbonize.
- 160 km
- 860 tonnes CO₂e
- 64-tonne GCW
What Happened
Einride is deploying electric heavy-duty trucks on Scan Sverige's critical refrigerated route between Linköping and Eskilstuna, approximately 160 kilometers. The trucks can handle a 64-tonne gross combined weight and will replace conventional diesel trucks on a route that accounts for about 25% of Scan Sverige's refrigerated outbound volume from its Linköping distribution center. Charging is integrated into daily operations using depot and opportunity charging during driver rest periods.
860 tonnesCO₂e
By replacing diesel trucks on the Linköping–Eskilstuna corridor.
“At Scan Sverige, transitioning our transportation is an important part of our long-term efforts to achieve our climate targets. Electrifying the route between Linköping and Eskilstuna enables us to continue reducing emissions and contribute to the development of fossil-free transport.”
Why this matters
This partnership demonstrates that electric trucks can replace diesel in demanding refrigerated logistics, cutting emissions and proving fossil-free freight is viable for critical supply chains.
