Scania delivers 30 electric trucks to Juna, boosting their vehicle fleet.
Juna and Scania Team Up to Expand Sustainable Transport Solutions
In a significant move towards a greener future, Juna, a logistics company focused on promoting electric transportation, and Scania, a leading truck manufacturer, have announced an expansion of their collaboration.
Juna, founded just over a year ago, has found success with its pay-per-use model, particularly in the freight forwarding sector. The company currently rents electric trucks in four major European markets, including Germany, and aims to revolutionize road logistics with sustainable transport solutions.
As part of this collaboration, Scania will supply new trucks, capable of carrying up to 46 tonnes, for regional transport. These eTrucks, which began manufacturing less than a year ago, are a testament to Scania's commitment to sustainable transport.
Matteo Oberto, CEO of Juna, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, stating, "We are thrilled to be expanding our fleet with these advanced electric vehicles. This collaboration with Scania is a significant step forward in our mission to revolutionize road logistics with sustainable transport solutions."
Christian Levin, President and CEO of Scania, shares this vision, stating, "We are excited to be working with Juna and Sennder to drive the transition to a sustainable transport system. Together, we are shaping the future of the industry."
Despite falling short of the initial target of 100 eTrucks by the end of 2024, Juna remains committed to its goal of offering 5,000 electric trucks by 2030. The delivery of these new trucks, scheduled for the first half of 2025, is a significant step towards this goal.
Juna's model aims to remove high acquisition costs and residual value risk from logistics companies' balance sheets, making the transition to electric trucks more accessible and affordable. This approach has proven to fit the needs of freight forwarders, providing them with access to electric vehicles with guaranteed transport volumes and predictable commercial utilisation.
The collaboration between Juna, Scania, and Sennder is a testament to their joint efforts to drive the transition to a sustainable transport system. With the delivery of these new trucks, Juna is ready to roll out its innovative solution to more European markets.
However, the search results do not provide any information on which company is delivering the plan for 5,000 electric trucks to Juna by 2030. Regardless, this partnership marks a promising step towards a more sustainable future in transport.
