The head of Scania Eesti, Janno Karu, says that this is the first electric lorry on Estonian roads but their number will increase over the coming years. Scania's goal is to have electric lorries account for 10% of new sales by 2025, and to have half of the new vehicles produced be electric by 2030. „These goals are tied to the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement. To mitigate the effects of climate change globally, we need to halve our CO₂ footprint every 10 years, and the electrification of rolling stock is one way of doing that.“ He added that Scania became the world's first heavy vehicle producer that has set science-based goals to lower greenhouse gas production in its production processes.
