Component Circularity Management with Scania

For Scania, circularity involves every aspect of our business. It challenges us to rethink how we design and manufacture products, our impact, our value chain knowledge, and how we develop business models and provide value for our customers. Committed to sustainability, the circularity and transparency of components in Scania products for heavy transport applications are critical. In compliance with regulations related to sustainability and the circular economy, Scania is focused on extending the lifetime of components and saving our customers’ costs by providing an option for second-life parts. We would also explore new revenue streams by selling second-life pieces. Scania also prioritizes supply chain optimization and aims to create a competitive advantage by demonstrating its commitment to innovation and environmental sustainability.

To reach these goals, we are interested in asset tracking and management solutions that include. Still, we may not be limited to traceability, quality, and financial value data of Scania product components throughout their life cycle. The envisioned solution enables Scania to increase the efficient utilization of used parts in the circular system, ranging from manufacturing to scrapping or recycling. The answer should be able to provide real-time and residual value information while facilitating predictive data on component availability in a timely fashion based on data points such as component location, quality, or volumes. Ultimately, the potential solution needs to create value for Scania customers by extending the life cycle of Scania vehicles.
