Sono Motors Gains Scania and LLT as New Customers
07 Outubro 2022 - 5:12AM
The Munich-based solar mobility OEM Sono Motors (NASDAQ: SEV)
gains new customers in Scania, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, and LLT,
a Swedish public transport authority, in a unique project to test
the Solar Bus Kit in real-life conditions in the northern
hemisphere. The objective of the project is to optimize the
efficiency of the solar technology for buses in northern climates.
LLT is the first transport authority in Scandinavia to equip buses
with a customized version of the Solar Bus Kit with
1 kW peak installation, and have equipped six Scania
model Citywide K320 diesel buses. These solar-equipped buses are
used for public transport in Luleå, Sweden and are intended to help
reduce transport emissions. For each year of operation, the solar
technology developed by Sono Motors has the potential to save
approx. 2.9 tonnes of CO2 and up to 1,100 liters of
diesel per bus. According to LLT and Scania, solar technology could
be an option in the future to increase the range of electric buses.
Scania, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen
group, is a world-leading provider of transport solutions,
including trucks and buses for heavy transport applications. In
2021, the Swedish company sold and delivered over
85,000 trucks and more than 4,400 buses. The Citywide
K320 is another bus model for which Sono Motors has optimized
its Solar Bus Kit, following the optimizations for the MAN Lion’s
City and the Mercedes-Benz Citaro.
“Sustainable public transport is one of the most important
pillars of the revolution of mobility. Our Solar Bus Kit was
developed as a scalable retrofit product intended to help public
transport authorities to start saving diesel and reduce emissions
today. We are happy to have found two partners in Scania and LLT
who share our values, and it is gratifying to see the fruit of our
efforts now on the roads of Sweden,” says Laurin Hahn, CEO and
co-founder of Sono Motors.
“The Solar Bus Kit has the potential to reduce both the amount
of fossil energy sources used and CO2 emissions. For Scania, it is
great to be able to test the solar technology for buses in
real-life conditions with a client that we know shares similar
goals, and with whom we also have a long and established
relationship,” says Rutger Hörndahl, Senior Technical Advisor
Scania Buses and Coaches.
“LLT’s goal is to provide public transportation that has the
least amount of impact on the environment. This project is a part
of our work to evaluate new technologies and decrease our carbon
footprint. By 2030 half of our buses will be fully electric.
Solar-equipped diesel buses will help us learn the pros and cons of
this technology. Solar is one of the future’s large-scale energy
sources and it’s good for us at LLT, the climate, and the city of
Luleå to gain more knowledge and insight on how solar technology
can be implemented as a future mobility solution,” says Jonas
Vinblad von Walter, CEO of LLT.
