Scania will invest more than SEK1bn (£81m) in the facility over several years and the new Södertälje plant is expected to be fully operational by 2023.
The18,000m2 facility will be built next to Scania’s chassis assembly plant and will be highly automated, from goods reception through production to delivery. It will assemble battery modules from cells supplied by Northvolt’s battery factory in Skellefteå, with the completed packs delivered directly to the vehicle assembly hall.
