Scania GB has officially opened its latest sales and service centre, located at Eurocentral in Scotland.
The £10m investment occupies a 7.8 acre plot and contains a fully operational workshop and parts department, with office accommodation and extensive secure parking.
It was recently used as a venue to host Scania’s Net Zero Conference, organised in the backdrop of COP26, where the company spoke about its sustainable agenda and plans for supporting decarbonisation.
The building is completely fossil free and has a high-efficiency underfloor air-source heating system, sustainable drainage and environmental containment in accordance with local regulations.
Its vehicle wash includes water recycling, there is LED lighting throughout as well as roof-mounted energy-generating photovoltaic panels.
The previous workshop at Bellshill has now closed and all employees have moved across to this new location which will become the central hub for employees and customers of Scania Scotland.
James Armstrong, Managing Director for Scania GB, said “Scania has a clear vision to reduce its carbon footprint and by opening buildings of this kind with an array of sustainable features, it really shows how we are moving in the right direction.
“It’s an extremely impressive building and will offer employees and customers a fantastic experience.”
