Scania, together with its ventures LOTS Group and JUNA Technologies and logistics carrier HAWA, is operating what is described as one of Europe’s longest battery-electric truck routes, signalling that high-utilisation electric long-haul transport is already commercially viable.
The partnership runs a 1,250-kilometre corridor across central Europe in daily commercial service. The model combines LOTS Group’s AI-driven planning platform, Pathfinder, JUNA’s electrified vehicle solutions and HAWA’s operational logistics expertise to deliver an integrated, end-to-end zero-emission transport solution.
Pathfinder is used to analyse routes, shipment flows and charging requirements under real-world conditions. By simulating multiple operating scenarios, the platform helps optimise route design, reduce operational risk and refine deployment strategies before scaling. The focus is on maintaining operational quality and cost efficiency while enabling customers to cut CO₂ emissions through improved asset utilisation and planning.
The corridor has been designed with scalability in mind. Continuous analysis of operational data allows the network to adapt to new transport flows and expand zero-emission capacity as charging infrastructure develops and customer demand grows.
JUNA supports adoption through a pay-per-use model that provides access to electric truck capacity, lowering the financial and operational barriers traditionally associated with battery-electric long-haul transport.
According to the partners, the project demonstrates that electric heavy trucks can handle demanding inter-city routes, tight delivery schedules and year-round utilisation. This challenges the view that electric long-haul road transport will only become commercially viable toward the end of the decade, showing instead that data-driven planning and integrated operations can make zero-emission corridors work at scale today.
