Scania is a leader in sustainable transport solutions, committed to creating a more environmentally friendly and efficient logistics system. The company’s strategy focuses on reducing carbon emissions, optimizing energy use, and integrating renewable energy sources throughout its operations.
Elain's primary focus is on logistics CO2 tracking, offering a solution called Elain Advanced, tailored for transport buyers or advanced transporters who wish to track their carbon emissions in detail. Elain Advanced works by collecting exact fuel consumption and type data from transport networks and merging it with order and load data. This enables tracking of CO₂ emissions down to specific transported units, facilitating precise and informed decision-making for effective decarbonization efforts.
In the context of Scania, the Elain team, as part of Scania's Innovation Factory, works on measuring tool software for CO2 emissions. They aim to aggregate primary data collected from transport operators’ vehicles with order systems such as transport management systems, plus vehicle and fuel data. This integration allows buyers of transport services to see at a very detailed level the emissions resulting from their orders. This approach is part of Scania's efforts to develop new business models and entrepreneurial ways of working, focusing on sustainability and innovation within the transportation ecosystem.
Furthermore, Scania's move towards electrification and sustainability is also evident in their development of electric solutions for vehicles. Their hybrid electric power systems and fully electric machines are designed to offer exceptional torque and response directly from start, eliminate tailpipe emissions, and significantly reduce operational costs. Scania's efforts in this domain are reflective of their commitment to sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of their vehicles.
In summary, the collaboration between Scania and Elain, particularly with the development of Elain Advanced, is a significant step towards more sustainable and data-driven logistics. This initiative is part of Scania's broader strategy to innovate and adapt to future transportation needs while focusing on reducing the environmental impact of their operations.
