Vision
Scania’s vision is to be the leading company in its industry by creating lasting value for its customers, employees, shareholders and the societies in which it operates.

Mission statement
Scania’s mission is to supply its customers with high-quality heavy vehicles and services related to the transport of goods and passengers by road. By focusing on customer needs, high-quality products and services, as well as respect for the individual, Scania shall create value-added for the customer and grow with sustained profitability.

Scania’s operations specialise in developing and manufacturing vehicles, which shall lead the market in terms of performance and life cycle cost, as well as quality and environmental characteristics.

Scania’s sales and service organisation shall supply customers with vehicles and services that provide maximum operating time at minimum cost over the service life of their vehicles, while preserving environmental characteristics.

Strategy

Heavy transport vehicles
Scania’s operations focus on heavy commercial vehicles for transporting goods and people by road. This is the segment where the requirements - along with the profitability and growth - are the highest.
Vehicles in the heavy segment are often driven long distances and have a high degree of utilisation. Transport operations in this segment are dependent on appropriately specified and reliable vehicles as well as comprehensive services in order to be profitable.
Scania also provides engines for purposes other than heavy
road transport.

Modular product system
With Scania’s modular product system, customers can be offered optimised vehicles. The more closely vehicles and services can be adapted to a transport task, the better the customer’s operating economy will be.
The modular system provides a carefully balanced number of main components with standardised interfaces. This results in great flexibility, which is important for Scania’s cross-functional product development and global production. The modular system allows considerably longer production runs than is possible in conventional product systems. It also simplifies parts management, contributes to a higher service availability and makes it easier to train service technicians.

Integrated business – vehicles, services and financing
Scania offers its customers vehicles, services and financing. Understanding customer needs and the ability to offer combined solutions with outstanding value for each customer are vital to Scania’s success.
Scania’s customers often use their vehicles round-the-clock and require rapid access to maintenance and repairs at all hours from Scania’s service network. Comprehensive packages of vehicles, services and customer financing are becoming
more and more important.

Selective growth
Scania focuses on markets and segments where sustainable, profitable growth can be achieved. A growing base of profitable customers and additional business with existing customers are more important than aggressive growth - Scania grows with successful customers. Entering a new market or segment implies a long-term commitment to customers.
