Vinge advises Scania on its acquisition of Northvolt’s Systems Industrial business, including production capabilities, a research and development center, and a team of approximately 260 employees. The operations are based in two locations: a production facility in Gdańsk, Poland, and an R&D center in Tomteboda, Stockholm, Sweden.
Northvolt’s Systems Industrial division develops and manufactures battery systems for heavy industry and off-highway market segments, offering a portfolio of battery modules and systems used in material handling, construction equipment, and mining. The acquired business will be a partner to Scania Power Solutions and be operated as a stand-alone venture within Scania Ventures and New Business, aligning with Scania’s strategy to develop complementary and transformational businesses that strengthen Scania’s long-term competitiveness.
With over a century of powertrain innovation, Scania Power Solutions has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable and efficient engines that meet the toughest demands in the industrial, marine, and power generation segments. With this acquisition Scania will strengthen its electrification offering for off-road applications.
