Traton, formed from the merger of Scania, Man, and International's R&D divisions, is seeking a Master Thesis Student to explore environmental business cases for wind and solar-based fuel production in internal combustion engines. This role is based in Södertälje, Sweden, and offers a hybrid work environment. The thesis will involve evaluating intermittent power supply challenges and the economic aspects of hydrogen and e-fuel production over a 20-week period, providing an opportunity to develop,Jobbet i korthet

Title: Master Thesis Student Environmental business case for wind- and solar based fuel production in an internal combustion engine context.
The research and development divisions of Scania, Man and International have merged into a common research and development organisation under the name Traton.
Traton's control system development is an important part of meeting our ambitious sustainability goals with an ecosystem of sustainable transport. Among other things, a uniform diagnostics and component design for the desired vehicle life length is important and a part of Traton being a world leader.
Our sections are responsible for drive train control system pre-development. Parts of the vehicle design with a major impact on the environmental impact and greenhouse gas footprint.
We are a strong multi-cultural team with different backgrounds and experience, where a devotion for technical development and requirements balancing are the common denominator. Together we normally supervise 10-30 theses students a year and we regularly get the feedback that our way of working is characterized by an inclusive, positive and helpful attitude.
With us, you will have the opportunity to do your thesis on a major company leading the development towards a sustainable future. You will have the opportunity to develop your engineering skills, to learn if the Scania work culture suits your future career goals and to show your abilities and talents over 20 weeks of thesis work.
Thesis assignment:
As for all theses the work will be divided in four phases. Starting with the tentative research question an iterative information survey will take place during the first weeks ending with a more or less finalized introduction, motivation, research question, literature survey and method choice as well as a time plan. This thesis will, as far as we judge, have a more extensive literature survey part stretching into the main work phase that follows. The following eight to twelve weeks consists of the main thesis work, divided in two parts and split by a mid-term seminar feedback option. Finally it's time to write up the thesis and present it orally both at Scania and the grading university.
The research of this thesis will be focused on evaluating and overcoming the weakness of intermittent power supply in grid defined by limited transfer capacity and storage. Investigating the potential in hydrogen and e-fuel production on not only the price of the produced fuel but also on the trade-of electricity price for investment in new wind and solar power. A major focus will be on finding relevant information, contact suppliers/producers and compile data for the continued study. The data will be evaluated to some extent in Matlab but this thesis will also require Excell and Python to be used for compiling and comparing.
Student profile:
We are looking for someone who is an imaginative, communicative, initiative-taking and structured problem solver who sees opportunities. You have a positive attitude, find it easy to make new contacts and appreciate working both in a team and on your own.
We want you to be:
As documentation is available in multiple languages proficient in Swedish and English in speech and writing is required, the knowledge of German is considered an advantage.
If you have questions on the thesis or on the recruitment process please contact Dr. Ola Stenlåås, ola.stenlaas@scania.com.

- With an understanding of the limitations of an electricity grid and of intermittent power production and how the two above affect the availability and pricing of energy.
- Having an interest in the economic part of engineering and personal traits enabling smooth producer and supplier contacts.
- Fundamentally knowledgeable of Matlab and highly knowledgeable on Excell and Python.
- A Master student with a major in engineering economics, energy sciences or environmental engineering (energy focus) or similar.
