More electric transport in Portugal
In late June, transporter Klog will deploy the first of several battery-electric vehicles from Scania to transport Ikea products in Portugal from the furniture factory in Paços de Ferreira to the port harbour in Leixões, and to dealers’ outlets.
The collaboration and electric transition are the result of discussions initiated by Ikea and Scania in 2023. They are bold first steps in the Portuguese market, where the electrification of heavy transport is challenging and local infrastructure developments are still at early stages, Scania said.
