The deal includes internal combustion engine trucks powered by Scania’s latest generation 13-litre SUPER drivetrain, as well as 100 battery-electric trucks.
The electric trucks will be the first Scania regional-haul battery-electric 4×2 tractor units to be used on UK roads.
Commenting on the news, Christian Levin, CEO for Scania, said:
“Scania has had a close and successful relationship with Culina Group, WS Group and A.W. Jenkinson Group for many years. This is a significant deal that marks a milestone on our continued journey towards sustainable transport.”
William Stobart, Deputy CEO of Culina Group, added:
“On behalf of the Consortium, we are very pleased to be able to renew our agreement.”
“It’s been a difficult time for OEMs with global supply issues, but Scania has worked closely with us over the past two years to minimise the impact for both parties. This is testament to the true partnership between the businesses.”
Chris Newitt, Managing Director for Scania UK, also commented:
“I would like to thank the Consortium Purchasing board for giving us the opportunity to continue our great relationship. It’s testament to the strength between the two organisations that we can make this announcement, but also, to those involved in making it possible over the many years that this deal is built upon.”
