Nordic Booster and Scania Launch Circular Battery Energy Storage System

Nordic Booster has created a fully Scandinavian solution using battery packs sourced from Scania trucks in Sweden and technology developed and manufactured in Norway. Proprietary software and hardware ensure high levels of cybersecurity, operational reliability, and local value creation.

“This project has been made possible through close collaboration with Scania Pilot Partner,” says Jannik Stanger of Nordic Booster. “Together, we have built a system that proves circular energy storage is not just a vision—it actually works.”

The system helps meet rising energy demands driven by electrification and represents a cost-efficient pathway to extend battery life. It enables reduced grid tariffs, accelerates high-power fast charging, and provides opportunities for passive income in flexibility markets.

“We are not only demonstrating that vehicle batteries can be reused,” Stanger adds. “We show that there is real economic value in extending battery life for new, socially beneficial purposes. This solution increases the residual value of electric trucks and allows batteries to remain in use for many additional years—a win-win for both operators and society.”

Scalable Technology for a Wider Market

Although collaboration with Scania was key to rapid deployment, Nordic Booster’s system is designed to integrate batteries from multiple vehicle manufacturers.

“That we can now prove—together with Scania—that circular battery use is both technologically and economically viable fits squarely with our strategy through the Norwegian Battery Network at Romerike and Kunnskapsbyen Lillestrøm,” says Stanger. “Scania is setting an example for responsible manufacturing, while this also opens the door to a broader European value chain for circular energy storage. Our solution is ready.”

Systems Already Operating in Norway and Sweden

Circular battery systems are now in operation at a critical Norwegian distributor and at Scania’s test center in Sweden. The Norwegian customer selected Nordic Booster’s ReBooster system to meet strict requirements for uptime and cybersecurity, and because the software and hardware are locally developed.

“We are pleased to have systems running in both Sweden and Norway,” says Stanger. “At the Norwegian site, we also reduce the customer’s payback time by integrating the battery with Statnett’s flexibility market, using our owner, Akershus Energi (a Norwegian Utillity company), as commercial aggregator. This underscores that sustainability and circularity are not just ideals—they make financial sense, and we are demonstrating that in practice.”
