Decarbonisation

At Scania, reducing the CO₂ footprint of the vehicles is a strategic priority, and that includes the materials used in our products. Decarbonisation is one of Scania´s four focus areas for supply chain sustainability.

The term Decarbonisation means removal or significant reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂e) output into the atmosphere. To prioritize and address the most significant share of emissions, a 2030 supply chain decarbonization strategy was created.

Since 2022, Scania has focused on the largest emission hotspots in its vehicles—steel, cast iron, aluminum and batteries – with the ambition to decarbonize these materials in the European production locations by 2030.

While Scania still maintains the ambition to significantly reduce emissions in the materials used in its products, it is also recognized that the industrial transition is complex and is more challenging than initially expected.

Through the TMS1 program Scania will integrate lower-carbon material requirements for both new components and selected carry-over parts, and our suppliers are key partners in developing and scaling these solutions together.

Sustainability Requirements for Hotspot Materials (PD3423539) for relevant parts and components will be included on affected component drawings and made available together with all other pertaining requirements.
