Designing Scania’s first BEV navigation system meant turning complex route and charging requirements into an experience drivers could use with confidence. As UX Designer and Co Project Lead, I helped shape the overall direction and worked with global cross functional teams from early research to a production ready first iteration.
Role: UX Designer and Co Project Lead

Year: 2022-2024
Challenge
As Scania transitioned to electric heavy vehicles, drivers needed a navigation experience that could support route and charging planning without adding unnecessary complexity. The challenge was to balance drivers’ needs with complex technical requirements and integrate the experience into the vehicle’s digital dashboard.
Approach
I worked iteratively with developers, designers and stakeholders, using research, prototypes and user testing to explore and refine the experience. User insights and technical requirements were evaluated together throughout the process to guide design decisions.
Outcome
The work resulted in a production ready first version of Scania’s BEV navigation system, integrated into the vehicle’s digital dashboard. The experience helps drivers plan routes and charging with greater clarity and confidence.
