Digital makeover for Scania’s fleet management services

Scania’s new Services 360 programme boosts peace-of-mind, predictability and productivity.

 

Scania’s aftersales offer to the Australian transport, logistics and fleet operations market has been fundamentally revised to present a wider range of services in tailored packages that makes it easier to keep on top of operating costs.

 

The newly introduced Scania Services 360 programme contains four distinctive packages, offering increasing levels of support, coverage and peace-of-mind. Each level contains add on services that customers can opt into, continuing Scania’s focus on providing uniquely tailored solutions to individual customer needs.

 

“Our aim is to match our support levels to each business’ needs,” says Stefan Weber, Scania Australia’s Director of Aftersales.

 

“We have simplified the offering across our fleet maintenance and management programmes, using feedback from customers as well as incorporating the latest digital tools, available across a range of devices both desktop and mobile, that help operators stay in touch with how hard and productively their assets are working.

 

“With Scania Services 360 we want the assets to sweat, not the fleet managers or their drivers,” he says.

 

“Uptime is the core driver of all Scania’s aftersales efforts and services, from regular or preventative maintenance to monitoring vehicle performance, efficiency and reliability.

 

“With new digital services at hand we can provide a relevant and valuable set of tools to customers, tools we know can deliver savings in time and effort, for example, transforming tedious paperwork into automated reality. It adds up to real world value.

 

“A key benefit is that with four levels of support, it is up to the customer to determine which services they want to use, we’re not prescribing to them, they can choose exactly what they find most beneficial,” Stefan says.

 

Scania’s Services 360 packages start with core essentials and build to provide comprehensive support options that take care of a fleet’s major maintenance and operational demands.

 

The Scania Services 360 flexibility allows individual users the choice to add further services at every level.

 

 

Scania Services 360 - CORE

 

For operators who want a solid foundation for reliable operations, the Scania Services 360 CORE package combines flexible/periodic maintenance with a full suite of digital services, tools and insights from the included Control package.

 

Even for operators who run their own workshop for repairs and day-to-day adjustments, or prefer to not have a specific repair contract, the Scania Services 360 CORE package provides excellent maintenance coverage as a foundation. Through flexible/periodic maintenance, an individual plan is automatically generated based on the needs specific to each vehicle, taking driving conditions, geographic topology, climate, PTO-activation and payload into account, just to name a few.

 

The CORE package is focused on the most central part of the Scania Services 360 offer.

 

“We strongly believe that the flexible/periodic maintenance approach combined with a suite of digital tools and services to strengthen day-to-day administration should be at the core of every transport operation,” Stefan Weber says.

 

“We know that choosing a level of repair coverage is as much a business strategy decision, as an operational one. So, for operators who want to increase their coverage to also include driveline or chassis and cab repairs, there are more advanced services packages to offer, but we recognise that for some operators the Scania Services 360 Core might be the perfect package just as it is,” he says.

 

Scania Services 360 – PLUS

 

For operators willing to manage some productivity challenges in-house, while still not having to worry about potential driveline issues, the Scania Services 360 – PLUS package can strike an ideal balance between coverage and cost.

 

Even with correct maintenance, component failures occasionally happen. The driveline repair service in the PLUS package helps to minimise any impact on productivity with repair coverage focused on the most critical vehicle components, further combined with smart vehicle-specific flexible maintenance plans to maximise time spent in operation.

 

Scania is dedicated to getting customer vehicles back into service as quickly as possible through direct access to genuine Scania parts and a service network with factory-trained Scania expert technicians that know the Scania driveline inside and out.

 

The Scania Services 360 PLUS package delivers a full suite of digital tools and services to improve the efficiency of your fleet management through automating and streamlining tasks and increasing fleet overview and operational insights. Add-on packages at this level include expanded driveline repair and towing.

 

 

 

Scania Services 360 – FULL

 

This package is ideal for businesses that are focused on transport logistics. It includes full repair and maintenance coverage plus a suite of digital tools and insights.

 

It is powered by Scania’s digital tools and services and built on a flexible/periodic maintenance foundation – with added coverage for both driveline and chassis and cab repairs. All with quick response, excellent parts availability and of course with Scania Assistance advisors just a quick call away, 24/7.

 

The best type of repair is one you don’t have to perform, and well-planned maintenance can be key to prevent many component failures. Vehicles need to be thoroughly maintained to prevent vehicle issues and thanks to the flexible/periodic maintenance plans, built on each individual vehicle’s operating data, we provide this

 

With added chassis and cab as well as driveline repair coverage, our workshops are ready all across Australia for any type of productivity-affecting vehicle failures – however unfortunate. The Services 360 FULL package can be tailored with further add-ons and options such as towing coverage.

 

Scania Services 360 – PRO

 

This delivers ultimate uptime, peace-of-mind and 100% focus on the business and logistics side of a fleet’s operation. Services include proactive repair and vehicle maintenance coverage, and the package is designed to significantly reduce productivity-affecting risks in a fleet by providing a highly supported, outsourced approach. It delivers a forward-looking maintenance strategy using advanced AI-assisted analysis drawn from a large global connected fleet, so Scania may identify

likely future wear or failure points based on each vehicle’s operational data. This helps us to plan repairs and maintenance in advance, so key powertrain components can be proactively serviced or replaced to minimise the chance of unexpected issues.

 

All packages come with digital insights and fleet management tools as a constant foundation. Flexible/periodic maintenance is also always included to ensure each

individual vehicle is serviced according to its specific operating conditions and history, so vehicles are neither under- nor over-maintained – with minimised downtime as a result. Also included is both Driveline Repair as well as Chassis and Cab Repair services to cover urgent or unexpected needs that may impact operations.

 

The Scania Australia Services 360 programme is introduced from the start of April 2026.
