Scania has signed an agreement for the supply of robotics solutions from ABB for its new battery assembly plant in Sweden.
More than one billion Swedish kronor ($108m) has been invested in the new facility, scheduled for completion in 2023.
The site will extend to 18,000 square metres and be adjacent to the chassis assembly plant in Södertälje. Scania first announced the project in November 2020, with construction scheduled to begin early last year.
