It is now on the road! Scania has delivered Norway's largest electric truck to the Verdalskalk limestone quarry in Verdal, Norway. It will annually transport around 120,000 tonnes of lime from the quarry to the port. This will cut CO2 emissions by 156 tons the previous fossil fuel consumption by 58,800 liters!
“With a long and trusted collaboration with Verdalskalk, it came naturally to contact them to offer an opportunity to test an electric truck for their transport needs. Verdalskalk has always challenged us to find good and alternative solutions and reducing emissions have been on the agenda for many years,” says Rune Wuttudal at Scania in Norway.
