The delivery, scheduled for the first half of 2025, marks a significant step forward in Juna‘s goal to revolutionise road logistics with sustainable transport solutions.
Currently renting electric trucks in four major European markets, including Germany, Juna offers these vehicles through a pay-per-use model designed to ease the financial burden on logistics companies.
The new trucks, which can carry up to 46 tonnes, will be used for regional transport, further cementing the company’s footprint in the heavy-duty electric vehicle (EV) market.
Scania, which only began manufacturing these eTrucks less than a year ago, will supply the units as part of the ongoing collaboration with Sennder.
Matteo Oberto, CEO of Juna, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion: “Expanding our fleet with these advanced electric vehicles is a significant step to revolutionising road logistics.”
“Our pay-per-use model has proven to fit the needs of freight forwarders and shows that eTrucks can meet the performance and reliability standards expected by demanding customers in the freight industry. Now we are ready to roll out our innovative solution to more European markets,” he adds.
Scania’s President and CEO, Christian Levin, echoed this sentiment:
“Our collaboration with Sennder through Juna is an example of our shared vision for a sustainable future in transport. Delivering these new trucks is a testament to our joint efforts to drive the transition to a sustainable transport system.”
Founded just over a year ago, Juna was established to make it easier for logistics companies to switch to electric trucks by offering a model that removes the high acquisition costs and residual value risk from their balance sheets.
With guaranteed transport volumes and predictable commercial utilisation, the company provides logistics operators access to eVehicles without the financial strain typically associated with the transition to greener technologies.
While the company had originally set a target of 100 eTrucks by the end of 2024, it appears that Juna will fall short.
Nevertheless, with plans to offer 5,000 electric trucks by 2030, the company remains optimistic about its ambitious goals.
