Visit to Scania: Sustainable transportation, connectivity, and digital innovation - 15 May 2025
During the visit, students will gather for an afternoon of immersive learning and industry insights hosted by Mathias Larsson Carlander, Strategy Officer at Scania and Affiliated Research Fellow at SSE’s House of Innovation. The group will begin with fika and an informal meet-up in one of Scania’s exhibition trucks and top cargo trailers, followed by a presentation on digital transformation in the transport industry. You will hear about how Scania is navigating technological shifts - redefining product development, value creation, and organizational change as part of the evolving digital logistics ecosystem.
This will be followed by a tour of the Marcus Wallenberg Hall, Scania’s official museum, where we will encounter more than a century of engineering breakthroughs, from early railway vehicles to advanced trucks and electrification concepts. You will also have the opportunity to engage directly with professionals at Scania, gaining first-hand perspectives on current challenges and developments in the transport and mobility sector.
