Scania is taking a further step in the transition to the use of renewable energy in its industrial activities
OREANDA-NEWS. Scania is now taking a further step in the transition to the use of renewable energy in its industrial activities.
In Zwolle, the Netherlands, Scania in collaboration with the citizen initiative “Blauwvinger Energie” and the university Windesheim College, launched a project to build three wind turbines by the Zwolle-IJssel canal. Plans are to build two of those wind turbines on the Scania factory area.
All three initiators have similar objectives. Scania Production Zwolle wants the final assembly facility to be climate-neutral and energy self-sufficient by 2020. Windesheim College has plans for a completely fossil-free campus and Blauwvinger Energie wants to generate more renewable energy to the inhabitants of the city of Zwolle and until 2020 reduce CO2 emissions by twenty percent compared to 1990.
The project “Windenergie in Zwolle” that started in September includes three wind turbines with a capacity of 2-3 MW each. Both the hub height and rotor diameter of the turbines are 100 meters.
The assembly plant for truck chassis in Zwolle is Scania’s largest worldwide and account for about half of the trucks that it manufactures in its European production structure. The factory is operated by more than 1,850 employees.
