Scania

Swedish truck maker Scania and snow-grooming equipment manufacturer Prinoth are expanding their partnership to develop electric snow groomers. The collaboration aims to bring battery-electric technology to slope preparation machines, cutting emissions and noise at ski resorts. Interest follows broader moves across the heavy vehicle industry to electrify specialised off-highway equipment.

Swedish police have carried out a large operation targeting Sunsalat in Åstorp, a locality in northwestern Scania, arresting seven people. The raid is drawing attention in Sweden, with many following developments around what led to the operation and what charges those detained may face. Further details about the suspected crimes have not yet been released.

Swedish truckmaker Scania will supply its Core 800 battery packs to Prinoth, the German manufacturer of snow groomers, for use in electric versions of its slope-preparation vehicles. The deal extends Scania's battery business beyond trucks into specialist off-road machinery, while Prinoth gains proven automotive-grade cells as it electrifies equipment used at ski resorts.
