Scania and Prinoth in Partnership to Electrify Snow Groomers
Scania and Prinoth recently announced a long-term partnership to accelerate the electrification of snow groomers. Snow groomers operate in demanding environments, requiring high performance, durability, and reliability. Scania will supply its Core 800 battery packs, selected to meet these challenges and delivering robust performance based on years of experience in electrified off‑road and industrial applications. The partnership builds on an existing collaboration that started with Husky E-Motion, the world’s first market-ready fully electric snow groomer, introduced in 2022. Since its launch, the machine has been successfully deployed across multiple markets, including Norway, France, Italy, UK, and the U.S. The Core 800 battery has been used in the Husky E-Motion since 2023, demonstrating strong performance, seamless integration, and reliability in demanding winter conditions. The successful collaboration has now evolved into a long-term partnership. The second machine is the Leitwolf E-Motion, recently introduced by Prinoth. This model is equipped with Scania Core 800 battery packs in top and side orientation, configured to meet higher energy and power requirements, further expanding the electrification of heavy-duty snow grooming operations. Scania’s Core 800 is a lithium-ion battery pack with an installed energy of 97 kWh and high energy density. Its modular design enables flexible installation and scalability, with systems ranging from 21 kWh up to 624 kWh. The battery features integrated liquid cooling, advanced safety architecture, and a proprietary Battery Management System, ensuring reliable operation, long service life, and optimised performance in harsh environments. Scania’s industrial battery systems are already used across a wide range of applications, including mining, construction, agriculture, and logistics vehicles, as well as energy storage solutions and airport ground support equipment. The partnership with Prinoth further strengthens Scania’s position as a provider of sustainable electrification solutions for demanding industrial segments.
