The company will demonstrate how its modular system, broad powertrain portfolio and global support network can support defence customer requirements. Scania said its message for the exhibition is “Designed to perform, built to deliver”.
Scania’s display will include a heavy equipment tractor with CrewCab, an 8×8 multi-role logistics truck and a 4×4 vehicle with an air defence system. It will also show Power Solutions equipment, including a next-generation 13-litre inline engine, a 16-litre V8 engine and an e-machine for hybrid or fully electric propulsion.
The company will also present its Integrated Logistic Support defence service portfolio through an experience table. Other exhibits will include a modular protected cab concept and a 4×4 hybrid vehicle with military equipment powering capabilities.
“Defence customers need solutions that perform in demanding operations and continue to deliver over time. At Eurosatory, we are showing how Scania’s modular system, powertrain expertise and global support capability come together to support operational availability, flexibility and resilience,” said Stefano Fedel, Head of Commercial, Scania.
Scania said Eurosatory is a platform to show how proven commercial technology, modularity and support can be adapted for defence requirements. The exhibition has been held since 1967 and brings together defence and security organisations from across the international ecosystem.
One of Scania’s main launches at Eurosatory will be its new modular protected cab. The company said the cab was developed to combine crew protection, mobility and operational performance in demanding defence environments.
The modular protected cab represents a new step in Scania’s defence offering. It shows how the company adapts its modular vehicle platform to meet changing operational requirements.
Scania said the protected cab is designed for operations where crew protection, mobility, ergonomics and operational availability are critical. The solution combines protection with visibility, driver control and performance in challenging terrain, harsh weather and around-the-clock operations.
The company will also highlight a hybrid truck intended to add operational flexibility and battlefield power capability. Scania said the hybrid solution shows how electrified capability can support mobility and local power supply in the field.
The vehicle can provide silent power generation for external equipment. Scania said this can reduce the need for conventional diesel generators and support operations where infrastructure is limited or unavailable.
“Hybrid technology can bring important operational benefits in defence applications. It can enable silent operation, reduce the need for idling and support battlefield power capability for external systems in the field,” said Sara Forsberg, CTO and Head of Scania R&D.
The hybrid vehicle is connected to a research project. Scania said it will be part of a formal handover ceremony during Eurosatory.
Scania said defence customers measure performance across the full lifecycle of a system. Its Integrated Logistic Support offering is designed to secure operational availability, reduce lifecycle costs and provide products and services throughout that lifecycle.
The support portfolio includes supply support, technical documentation, training, support and test equipment, technical support, repair and maintenance services, obsolescence management and configuration management. Visitors will be able to explore the portfolio at Scania’s Integrated Logistic Support experience table.
“We combine robust products with a global support structure. For defence customers, that means not only receiving the right vehicle, but having the service, parts, training and technical support needed to keep it operational over time,” Fedel said.
“Scania is the preferred partner for many defence organisations across the globe, as we have delivered more than 10,000 of trucks and engines for generations, including the needed support functions,” Fedel said.
