    Lidl Italia, Italy’s leading supermarket chain, recently received its first Scania Battery-Electric Vehicle, which will run routes from the Lidl logistics centre in Arcole to the company’s supermarkets in the north-east of Italy. The truck is the result of cooperation with Italscania, Scania’s Italian subsidiary, and transport company LC3 Trasporti.


    “Our long-term goal is the decarbonisation of transport, and the launch of this new battery-electric industrial vehicle is an important step forward in this direction,” says Lidl Italia Logistics Director Luca Ros.


    About The Battery-Electric Vehicle

    The new truck has a three-axle chassis, an electric engine with 230 kilowatts (313 horsepower) of continuous power and 295 kW (401 HP) of peak power, and a range of approximately 250 kilometres (155 miles) per charge. The electric powertrain delivers substantial power and instant torque while the fully electric power take-off enables continuous emission-free operation of both hydraulics and refrigeration units.


    “We at Scania support them in this unprecedented transition, not only as vehicle suppliers, but also in the crucial activities of analysing operational dynamics, defining the charging infrastructure and, of course, with our services and our widespread network throughout the region,” says Italscania President and CEO Enrique Enrich.


    "Extremely Proud"

    The LC3 Trasporti Group is also proud to play a role in bringing zero-emission vehicles to market. “In the first half of 2021 alone, our commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly freight transport, saw LC3 Trasporti vehicles travel millions of kilometres using alternative and renewable energy resources, such as Bio-CNG and Bio-LNG, which significantly reduced our emissions,” says LC3 Trasporti Group President Michele Ambrogi. “Today, we’re continuing to live up to our commitment by embarking on a new and clean journey into the future aboard the first 100% electric Scania truck. We’re extremely proud to be able to be involved in this innovative project with a market leader like Lidl Italia.”
