Unlike our competitors, we have systematically concentrated our resources in the heavy transport segment. Today Scania is one of the world´s leading manufacturers of heavy trucks and buses. Industrial and Marine Engines is another important business area. The company also markets and sells a broad range of service-related products and financing services. Scania is an international corporation with operations in more than 100 countries. The number of employees is more than 28,000.  A technologically advanced modular specification system has made Scania the heavy vehicle industry leader in terms of profitability. Even during periods of sagging markets for trucks, Scania has shown good earnings. For more than seven decades, Scania has reported a profit every year.

In 1996 Scania was listed on the stock exchange in Stockholm and New York.

In 1998 the change over to the new truck and bus generation, the 4-series, was completed.

In 1999 Scania also launched a complete range of Euro 3 low-emission engines for distributions, construction and normal long-haulage operation.

Eleven factories in five countries were in 2000 involved in the manufacture of Scania number 1,000,000.

In 2000 the legendary power unit V8 was succeeded by an even more impressive 16-litre V8. For a long-term development and reinforcement of the company’s bus business, it is during 2002 coordinated with the truck business. In 2002 the 1,000,000th truck was handed over when Scania Production Angers celebrated its 10th anniversary at the same time as Scania France celebrated its 25 years in business.
