The town of Åhus in southern Sweden is home to the Absolut Company, the maker of a world-famous brand of vodka. Founded in 1879, it is, like #scania, a prominent part of Sweden’s industrial heritage. The two companies also share a strong commitment to sustainability.
In Åhus, you can also view Scania’s extremely limited P 320 hybrid-electric #truck. Sighted, but barely heard, since the technology makes it silent. But the black cab is hard to miss when used by local haulage company Åhus Åkeri to transport Absolut’s renowned product in a white trailer with Absolut’s unmistakable logotype in blue.
Climate first for hybrid ownerThe hybrid can operate ten kilometres on electricity with a total weight of 32 tonnes. It makes the #truck a rare example of a fully sustainable solution, something proud owner Andreas Jönsson at Åhus Åkeri is well aware of.
