The V8 truck engine under Scandinavia is the only V8 truck engine that can meet the emission standards of Euro 6 and national 6. Its gold content and appeal are self-evident. The soul of V8 has long been integrated into the blood of Scandinavia. In the opposite world, Scania also has a completely zero emission electric truck product line, which seems to be a little contrary to its V8 legend. So, what is the strength of Scania electric truck? Today we will take you to see one.

The protagonist of today’s article is this white painted Scania P-Series electric truck. Scania named this car 25 P, of which 25 represents that the vehicle has a range of 250 kilometers, and P represents that it uses a P-Series cab. This is a Bev, representing battery electric vehicle. At present, Scania’s electric truck product line has been expanded to trunk long-distance trucks, and the naming method is also similar to it, such as the newly unveiled 45 R and 45 s Electric tractors. However, these two trucks will not meet us until the end of 2023. At present, the Scania electric trucks that can be bought are medium and short haul models such as 25 P and 25 L.

The actual 25 P model adopts a 4×2 drive configuration with air suspension. The license plate number of the vehicle is OBE 54l, which is also an old friend in the publicity photos of Scania. From the appearance of the vehicle, you can feel that it is an authentic Scania truck. The overall design of the front face, headlights and vehicle lines is the style of Scania NTG truck. The cab model of the vehicle is cp17n, which is from the P-Series diesel truck, with a flat top layout and a cab length of 1.7 meters. When using this cab, the overall height of the car is only about 2.8 meters, allowing vehicles to pass through more areas.

The front cover overturning mechanism on the diesel P-Series truck has also been retained. The lower half of the front cover can be folded down and used as a pedal, together with the armrest under the front windshield, so that the driver can clean the windshield more conveniently.

The quick charging port is placed in the side wing of the front cover on the right. The charging port adopts the European standard CCS type 2 charging port, with a maximum charging power of 130 kW. It takes about three to four hours to fully charge the car.

Scania has developed an app system for vehicles. Car owners can use the app to find nearby charging stations, or monitor the charging state of vehicles through mobile phones. The app will display information such as charging power and battery power in real time.

The forward turning function of the cab is retained, which is convenient for maintaining the components of the vehicle. The forward somersault adopts the electric form. After opening the flank, press the button on the remote control to complete this operation.

Although there is no engine under the cab, Scania still makes use of this space and installs a set of power batteries here. At the same time, electric control, inverter and other equipment are also installed here. The front is the radiator of the temperature control system of the power battery, which exactly corresponds to the water tank position of the original engine, playing the effect of heat dissipation.

The vehicle’s voice prompt system is also installed here. Because there is almost no sound when the electric truck is driving, it can’t remind pedestrians. Therefore, Scania has equipped the vehicle with this system, which will make a sound when the vehicle is driving to remind passers-by to pay attention to safety. The system has two levels of volume and will automatically turn off when the vehicle speed is higher than 45km / h.

Behind the left front wheel arch, a battery switch is installed. The driver can control the disconnection and connection of the vehicle’s low-voltage battery pack through this switch to facilitate the maintenance of the vehicle. The low-voltage system mainly provides power for the equipment in the cab, vehicle lighting and air conditioning.

The high-voltage battery system also has such a switch, which is placed next to the battery packs on both sides of the chassis to control the disconnection and connection of the high-voltage battery system.

Four sets of power batteries are installed on the left and right sides of the chassis, plus the one under the cab, a total of nine sets of batteries, which can provide a total power of 300 kwh. However, this configuration can only be selected on vehicles with a wheelbase greater than 4350 mm. Vehicles with a wheelbase of less than 4350 mm can only choose a total of five sets of 2+2+1 power batteries to provide 165 kwh of electricity. 300 kwh of electricity is enough for the vehicle to reach a range of 250 kilometers, so 25 P is named. For a truck that is mainly distributed in the city. The range of 250 kilometers is enough.

The battery pack is also equipped with an additional environmental control system interface, which can be connected to stronger environmental control equipment under extreme weather conditions, providing a stable and suitable working environment for the battery pack.

This 25 P truck adopts a central motor layout, which drives the transmission shaft and the rear axle through a two speed gearbox. The driving motor adopts permanent magnet oil cooled motor, with peak power of 295 kW and 2200 nm, and continuous power of 230 kW and 1300 nm. Considering the unique torque output characteristics of the motor and the 17 ton GVW of the vehicle, this power can be said to be very abundant. At the same time, Scania also designed a 60 kW electric power take-off for this system, which can drive the operation of the upper assembly.

The rear axle is the same as the diesel P-Series truck.

For the loading part, this 25 p distribution truck adopts the cargo loading made in Fokker, Finland, and is equipped with an adjustable roof system, which can expand up to 70 cm. In areas with relatively loose height restrictions, vehicles can transport more goods at a height of 3.5 meters.

The vehicle is also equipped with a hydraulic tail plate to further facilitate cargo loading and unloading operations.

With that said, let’s finally talk about the cab. The cab model is cp17n. Although there is no sleeper, there is a lot of storage space behind the main driver’s seat. There is one storage box on the left and right, each with a capacity of 115 liters, and the total capacity reaches 230 liters.

The diesel version of the P-Series originally installed a sleeper with a maximum width of only 54 cm behind the cab for the driver to rest in an emergency. However, on the electric version 25 P, this configuration is directly removed and changed to storage space. It can also be seen that the engine drum inherited from the diesel version of the P-Series is still preserved, but the engine is no longer under the drum, but the battery pack is replaced.

The standard dashboard of Scania NTG truck makes people feel friendly, but some modifications have been made. The original tachometer on the right is replaced by an electricity consumption meter, and the pointer usually points to 12 o’clock. Turning left means that the vehicle is in the process of kinetic energy recovery and other charging operations, and turning right means that the vehicle is outputting electric energy. The friendly meter at the bottom of the central information screen has also been replaced with a power consumption meter, which is very interesting.

The vehicle is equipped with steering wheel airbag and constant speed cruise system. The control buttons of constant speed cruise are placed in the multi-function control area under the steering wheel.

When it comes to Scania, people always think of its powerful diesel engine system. Few people associate this brand with electric trucks. With the development of environmental protection, this leader in the field of internal combustion engines is also taking steps towards zero emission transportation. Now, Scania has handed in its first answer, and 25 P and 25 l electric trucks have been put on sale. At the same time, it also derived a variety of models such as tractors. With Scania’s investment in new technologies, we also look forward to the further development of Scania’s electric trucks in the future.
