Scania
Driving the change – shifting to electric
Today the transport sector is responsible for almost a quarter of total energy related CO2 emissions. During 2020, Scania set science - based targets to reduce carbon emissions. In September of that same year, Scania launched their first commercially available fully electric truck. Two years later, in 2022, Scania launched the regional BEV, which was complete battery driven solutions for regional haulage – a milestone that Valoriim consultants was a part of realizing.

The challenge
Making it happen and customer satisfaction
From the very beginning of Scania’s journey into electrification, Valoriim has been a key partner—helping navigate the challenges of entering a new technological frontier. We have played a pivotal role in the development of Scania’s charging solutions, a critical component in driving the transition toward electrified transport.
Scania approached us with an ambitious goal: to develop a high-performance megawatt charging solution for their next-generation battery electric vehicles (BEVs). This project marked new territory for both Scania and our consulting team, as it demanded innovation in a domain with few established benchmarks.
The process
Designing a best-in-class 1MW charging system
High-power charging posed serious overheating risks, requiring advanced thermal engineering and cutting-edge cooling innovation.
Our approach included:
-
Concept to Feasibility
Starting with simple sketches and packaging layouts, we collaborated with cross-functional teams to explore mechanical, thermal, and electrical constraints early on.
-
Innovative Cooling Design
What began as a basic cooling plate evolved—through close collaboration with our simulation team—into an advanced cooling system with integrated channels capable of withstanding continuous 1 MW loads.
-
Simulation-Driven Development
We ran rigorous simulations and physical tests on the charging process and developed customized test rig specifications, providing the client with new capabilities in validation and verification.
-
Iterative Engineering & Integration
Continuous feedback loops across engineering, simulation, and testing enabled us to refine the design. The final product was a modular, die-cast aluminium system, adaptable to both high- and low-power charging applications.
The result
Thermal Stability Meets High-Power Performance
The final result was a modular, die-cast aluminium charging system, engineered for both high- and low-power applications. Designed for durability and scalability, it successfully achieved stable 1 megawatt charging without overheating—an accomplishment made possible through robust thermal management and precision-engineered cooling channels.
The solution was not only technically advanced but also production-ready, enabling rapid deployment and a shortened time to market. Throughout the development process, the client gained valuable new competencies in simulation-driven design and thermal testing, laying a strong foundation for future electrification efforts and high-power charging innovations.
