VR Sverige orders 91 Scania and Higer battery electric buses for Södertälje deployment in 2027

VR Sverige has placed an order for 91 battery electric buses from Scania and Higer, scheduled for rollout in Södertälje, Sweden, in 2027. The procurement was reported by Sustainable Bus via Google News. The order represents a significant fleet expansion for the Swedish operator as it transitions to zero emission public transport.

Why it matters: This 91 unit order signals a major charging infrastructure requirement for Södertälje ahead of 2027, creating opportunities for depot charging suppliers and grid connection specialists. The scale of the deployment will require coordinated planning between VR Sverige, Scania, Higer and local charge point operators to ensure operational readiness.
