Scania in brief
Scania’s objective is to deliver optimised heavy trucks and buses, engines and services, provide the best total operating economy for our customers, and thereby be the leading company in our industry. The foundation is our core values, our focus on methods and the dedicated people of Scania.
Scania operates in about 100 countries and has more than 35,500 employees. Of these, around 15,000 work with sales and services in Scania’s own subsidiaries around the world. About 12,300 people work at production units in seven countries and delivery centres in six emerging markets. Research and development operations are concentrated in Södertälje, Sweden, and employ some 2,900 people. Scania’s Head Office is located in Södertälje, the workplace of most of the 5,300 people who perform administrative and other tasks. Scania’s corporate purchasing department in Södertälje is supplemented by local procurement offices in Poland, the Czech Republic, the United States, China and Russia.
Scania’s identity is shaped by its customers and products – vehicles, services and financing – and by the people in the company, their values and working methods.
Three core values – Customer first, Respect for the individual and Quality – tie the company together and form the basis of Scania’s culture, leadership and business success.
Scania’s modular product system, with a limited number of main components, allows a high degree of customisation, while keeping down the cost of product development and production as well as parts management. Tailoring each vehicle to specific transport needs gives the customer better overall operating economy.
Scania should contribute to sustainable economic growth, for the company, our customers and society at large. As an industry leader in sustainable efforts, Scania works together with governments, customers and organisations to provide reliable energy-efficient products and solutions that increase customer efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable society.
