Denmark's First Electric Concrete Truck System Launches for Zero-Emission Construction
A fully electric concrete transport system has launched in Denmark. The solution comes from a partnership between Scania, Unicon, and Liebherr-Mischtechnik. It marks a step toward zero-emission logistics in the construction sector. The new system pairs a battery-electric Scania truck with an electric concrete mixer. Scania’s ePTO technology powers the drum directly from the truck’s battery, eliminating the need for a separate diesel engine. With up to 400 kWh of battery capacity, the vehicle can cover around 200 kilometres on a single charge.
Designed for real-world use, the truck handles off-road conditions and continuous mixing. Its electric operation cuts noise and air pollution, improving conditions for workers on site. The deployment proves that heavy-duty construction tasks can run without emissions. Unicon has already ordered 10 more electric vehicles as part of its expansion plans. The company aims to make all its concrete transport emission-free by 2035. This collaboration highlights the push to decarbonise construction logistics across the industry.
The electric concrete mixer system is now operational in Denmark. Its success could encourage wider adoption of zero-emission vehicles in construction. Unicon’s rapid fleet expansion signals growing confidence in electric solutions for heavy-duty tasks.
