In a quiet industrial block just outside Stockholm, Swedish automotive giant Scania is breathing new life into what was once Northvolt’s most prized asset.
The site, now operating as Scania Industrial Batteries, is being prepped to build power packs tough enough for mines, ships, and other extreme environments.
"It's about pushing the batteries to their full potential," Chris Wiak, CTO at Scania Industrial Batteries, tells Impact Loop during a site visit.

The Tomteboda facility – Northvolt’s last remaining operational site after the company’s collapse – houses an office and a prototype lab for battery development and testing, staffed by around 100 employees.
Meanwhile, production runs out of Gdańsk, Poland, also part of the acquisition. Scania reportedly paid €5.6m in cash and assumed €9.9m in debt during its take over of the facility, according to Swedish news outlet Dagens Industri.
