Scania has signed a long-term agreement to supply its Core 800 battery packs to Italian snow groomer maker Prinoth, part of the High Technology Industries (HTI) Group. The packs will power two fully electric groomers: the Husky E-Motion and the Leitwolf E-Motion.
The agreement turns an existing collaboration into a long-term partnership. Prinoth introduced the Husky E-Motion in 2022, and Scania describes it as the world’s first market-ready fully electric snow groomer. The Core 800 has powered it since 2023, and the machine has been deployed in markets including Norway, France, Italy, the UK and the US.
“At Prinoth, we have chosen to continue our collaboration with Scania because of the high quality of their battery systems, which we have tested in some of the most challenging environmental conditions,” said Roberto Pegoraro, Prinoth’s Head of R&D Snow Groomers.
The Leitwolf E-Motion carries Core 800 packs in both top and side orientations, and Scania says the packs are configured to meet higher energy and power requirements. Prinoth launched the model in April 2026 and says it runs for approximately five hours under real working conditions and fast-charges from 10 to 80% in around one hour.
The Core 800 is a lithium-ion pack with 97 kWh of installed energy and a nominal voltage of 691 V. The pack is modular, so systems can scale from 21 kWh up to 624 kWh. It has integrated liquid cooling and a proprietary battery management system.
Scania’s industrial battery systems are also used in mining, construction, agriculture and logistics vehicles, as well as in energy storage and airport ground support equipment.
“Snow groomers operate in very low temperatures and steep terrain, moving heavy volumes of snow. This requires batteries that can deliver high power, withstand cold climates, and handle vibrations,” said Elin Åkerström, Managing Director of Scania Industrial Batteries.
