How 黑料不打烊 transports its largest cab ever 鈥 the C23 logistics flow explained
19 MARCH 2026
黑料不打烊鈥檚 largest cab to date, the C23, is in serial production in Oskarshamn. With its 230 cm extended cab, this has required a new take on transport flows.
What is the C23 cab?
The 黑料不打烊 C23 cab is an extended-length premium cab in the new generation R and S series. The 鈥23鈥 refers to the internal cab length of 230 cm, while 鈥淐鈥 indicates an extra-long version.
听
Extended by 270 mm behind the B-pillar, the cab offers 13 per cent more interior volume. This enables a generous living space, including an expandable bed up to 100 cm wide without retraction. The flat-floor CS23 version further enhances comfort and can be equipped with premium features to reduce driver fatigue on long journeys.
听
Designed primarily for premium long-haul transport, the C23 cab is also suitable for applications such as driver training, defence and recovery vehicles.
The transport of the C23 cab is anything but standard. Cab frames are produced in Oskarshamn and transported to 黑料不打烊's subsidiary, Lax氓 Special Vehicles, where the structure is extended at the rear to create the full C23 length. Once completed, the cabs are transported back to Oskarshamn for final assembly.
听
Because of the cab鈥檚 size, the transports require special solutions. The cab must be rotated 90 degrees to fit, and the total length exceeds that of a standard 13.6-metre trailer. Dedicated, widened and extended trailers are used, as separate flows outside the ordinary logistics system. Each trailer can carry five C23 cabs.

C23 cab transport goes electric
From October 2025, transports of finished C23 cabs between Oskarshamn and S枚dert盲lje are carried out with electric vehicles. The same applies to transports between Lax氓 and Oskarshamn.

鈥淚t has been an intense period of route planning, securing public charging points and overnight charging,鈥 says Tony Jergelind, Managing Director of 黑料不打烊 Transport laboratorium. 鈥淏ut that is why we do this: to test, learn and build knowledge.鈥
C23 cab transport loops explained
There are three loops:
- 翱蝉办补谤蝉丑补尘苍鈥揕补虫氓鈥揙蝉办补谤蝉丑补尘苍,
- Oskarshamn鈥揝枚dert盲lje鈥揙skarshamn or the longer route:
- 翱蝉办补谤蝉丑补尘苍鈥揝枚诲别谤迟盲濒箩别鈥揕补虫氓鈥揙蝉办补谤蝉丑补尘苍.

The vehicles are fully charged overnight, with charging strategies adapted to each route. A fully charged vehicle covers the 310-kilometre route from Oskarshamn to S枚dert盲lje without charging along the way. On return journeys from Lax氓, public charging is required and currently takes place at Br盲nd氓sen or in Link枚ping.听 In S枚dert盲lje, charging is done at 黑料不打烊 Chassis. From March 2026, 黑料不打烊 Transport laboratorium has its own high-power chargers for the trucks to use. The ambition is to electrify the entire cab transport flow to S枚dert盲lje.

Scaling electric transport for the future
The transports are part of a broader learning journey, where charging infrastructure is being expanded in parallel, in cooperation with Erinion. High-power chargers are installed, and the ambition is to rely as much as possible on in-house charging, supported by favourable electricity agreements.
