Scania’s new under-cab battery module and Megawatt Charging System now available for order

Release to general sale of Scania’s new under-cab battery module makes it easier for hauliers to electrify fleets, with better balancing of payload, bodywork and range.Scania’s new Megawatt Charging System (MCS) speeds up battery recharging.

SÖDERTÄLJE, Sweden, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Scania has begun the global sales rollout of its new under-cab battery module, which for the first time enables operators to optimise battery capacity for the vast majority of transport needs. Heavy loads, advanced bodywork and long-haulage transport assignments can now be electrified with improved operational precision, and in some applications it’s now possible to achieve a range well beyond 800 km on one charge.

The positioning of the battery module under the cab of the Scania electric truck frees up more space for bodywork and successfully addresses the main issue on transporters’ minds: how to balance the needs of range, without it reducing the payload. A major benefit of the overall battery solution is that we can adapt its positions to cater for different types of bodywork across different applications.

In fact, the increase in Gross Train Weight allowance introduced by the European Union in 2025 means that Scania can deliver a 400-kWh usable capacity option for 360 km of typical range without needing to lower payload – all the way up to the legal maximum.

Scania’s MCS: key to the right battery charging strategy

Another factor for transport companies to bear in mind is that battery capacity does not necessarily limit the achievable range. A common misconception about electric trucks is that their battery capacity should always be large enough for the worst-case scenario, and always be optimised for maximum range, for example, 500 kilometres. However, if the transport assignment is only 300 kilometres, having the larger batteries is, in several use cases, unnecessary, and may affect the size of the payload.

Instead, it’s more about the charging strategy used for the job, and the introduction of Scania’s Megawatt Charging System (MCS) supports that need. Given the legally required rest breaks for the drivers, transporters can plan a battery charge during a journey at a natural stopping point, and top up from, say, 20 percent to 75 percent.

That is more than enough battery power to get the vehicle and its payload to the destination. A further charge could be done either at the delivery depot or on the way back to the truck’s base, all of which helps reduce both operating and capital expenditure.

“The new under-cab battery module optimises the placing of the truck batteries to transporters’ advantage,” says Tobias Ejderhamn, Global Manager, Transformation & New Business, Scania. “Thus, with the right battery set-up, MCS and a good charging strategy – using Scania’s own charging company Erinion or Scania Charging Access out on the road – our customers can easily solve the range versus payload question.”

“All of this just underlines the fact that haulage companies who choose Scania’s electric trucks are transporting goods, not kilowatt hours, and reducing their total cost of operation,” Ejderhamn says.

“Scania can now offer transport operators a comprehensive path to electrification and sustainable transport; one that is reliable, seamless, and commercially viable,” adds Lars Gustafsson, Head of Solutions Management, Scania. “With these two new additions to customers’ armoury it has become even easier and more attractive to make the change to electric transport.”

Published

By

LONDON, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — COSRX, the globally loved Korean skincare brand known for effective, ingredient-focused solutions, is bringing up to 56% off its skincare favourites to Amazon UK Prime Big Deal Days, taking place for just two days from 6–7 October.

As temperatures drop and skincare routines shift for autumn, skin needs extra hydration and barrier protection. To help prepare for the colder months ahead, COSRX presents the ‘Autumn Skin Reset’ during Prime Big Deal Days. 
Whether your skin needs a hydration reset, a longer-term focus on skin longevity or extra barrier support and daily protection, explore the three edits below to find the care that best suits your needs.

The RESET Edit: Restore Hydration & Glow

Up to 56% Off | Start with Snail Mucin to replenish moisture 

Colder, drier weather can leave skin calling for more hydration, making autumn a natural time to bring moisture and glow back into focus. COSRX’s iconic Advanced Snail Mucin duo is designed to replenish moisture levels and boost your skin’s natural radiance in two easy steps.

Powered by 96% Snail Secretion Filtrate, the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence (£11.05, 56% off) delivers a weightless burst of hydration and a glassy sheen. The Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream (£12.00, 54% off) follows up with rich moisture, locking in hydration to keep skin visibly plump, smooth, and glowing all day long.

The SKIN LONGEVITY Edit: Build a Skin Longevity Routine with Peptides

Up to 49% Off | Think beyond the season with peptide care 

Beyond addressing immediate seasonal concerns, autumn can also be an opportunity to take a longer-term approach to skincare. COSRX’s peptide edit focuses on skin longevity, incorporating consistent, targeted care to support firmer, smoother and healthy-looking skin over time.

For Prime Big Deal Days, COSRX brings together peptide-rich formulas designed to enhance skin firmness across everyday and targeted care. The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum (£14.25, 43% off) is a lightweight first-step booster that primes skin in your daily routine, while The Peptide Collagen Eye Patch (£11.73, 49% off) delivers a concentrated treatment to refresh and smooth the delicate eye area.

At the heart of the edit is the NEW Blue Peptide Bakuchiol Plump Glow Serum (£20.50, 24% off), a key innovation in COSRX’s skin longevity approach. Pairing blue copper peptides with bakuchiol, a gentler alternative to retinol, the formula targets the appearance of elasticity, firmness and youthful-looking bounce.

Together, the trio offers a way to incorporate peptide care across daily, targeted and more intensive skin longevity routines.

The PROTECTION Edit: Strengthen the Barrier & Keep SPF in Check

Up to 39% Off | Prepare skin for colder months with Ceramides + Daily SPF

This edit is all about protection, supporting the skin barrier with ceramide-powered moisture, while keeping daily SPF in the routine beyond summer. Together, the two form a simple defence strategy to help keep skin protected throughout the season.

The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturiser (£15.10, 34% off) provides ceramide-powered moisture to help support the skin barrier and keep skin feeling comfortable through changing weather.

For daytime protection, the Ultra-Light Invisible Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ (£10.40, 39% off), which ranked No.1 in Amazon’s Face Sunscreen category in both the UK and Germany during April and May 2026, provides high UVA and UVB protection in a lightweight, invisible formula.

Production will be handled by CyberAgent group company animation studio, Cypic (Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died), the anime boasts an all-star staff, including Director Tetsuya Takeuchi (Action Animation Director on Sword Art Online II, Battle Scene Storyboards/Episode Director/Animation Director on Heavenly Delusion) and Character Designer Keigo Sasaki (Blue Exorcist, The Seven Deadly Sins).

Yuichi Nakamura Cast as Soshiro Azami!
Yuichi Nakamura will play Soshiro Azami, a sorcerer affiliated with the Kamunabi. To commemorate the announcement, comments from Nakamura were also shared.

Full Comments from Yuichi Nakamura:
Q. What are your impressions of the character you voice, and what did you keep in mind while voicing them?
Although there are still relatively few characters, I paid close attention to how he balances with the others.
This should really pay off when a lot more characters start appearing later on…!
I approached the role viewing him as someone who is serious, yet carries a bit of a dry demeanor.

Q. How did you feel when you were cast, and what are your thoughts on the anime?
I read the manga when I auditioned for the role, and I felt like it really embodied the recent “spirit of Jump.” I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next, so I ended up reading every volume that had been released!
I’m incredibly excited to see all those memorable scenes brought to life in the anime.

Q. What were your thoughts when you first read the manga?
Although it starts off with a dark atmosphere, the protagonist’s convictions and goals are clearly defined, making it really fun to read.
The action may be what catches people’s attention first, but the worldbuilding, artistic sensibility, and unfolding story are equally captivating.

Q. What is Azami’s greatest charm?
He strikes me as a realist who serves as a contrast to the romanticist Shiba.
He’s compassionate, yet there’s something interesting about how he stays slightly detached.
I think he’s a character whose appeal will become increasingly apparent as the story progresses.

Q. How would you describe the appeal of the series in one phrase?
“Incandescent!”

Soshiro Azami Character Visual & Trailer Unveiled!

A sorcerer affiliated with the Kamunabi. One of the few people who knows of Chihiro’s existence, which had been kept secret. Possessing extraordinary physical strength that allows him to overwhelm his opponents with devastating blows, he stands out as one of the Kamunabi’s most formidable members.
