2023: Scania's new bus strategy

To provide customers with secure profitable growth in a changing market environment, Scania reshaped its bus and coach business in 2023. As a result of the new direction, a decision was taken to cease body production for Scania bus chassis at the plant in Słupsk, Poland. The revised strategy focused on a different product roadmap and a leaner, more flexible structure for supplying competitive and sustainable mobility solutions for people transport. Scania continued to offer customers complete buses and coaches, by increasingly build on Scania's strengths – the modular system, an extensive service network, and strong global and local partnerships with bodybuilders. 

The bus and coach market was heavily impacted by the covid pandemic and the pace of recovery was still slow. With increasing competition and upcoming legislation required significant investments in future technology. By continually using Scania’s experience and wide range of powertrain options, the company aimed to continuously provide customers with complete solutions including service, financing, charging solutions, and intelligent transport systems. Scania continued to manufacture rear and front engine chassis with broad options of powertrains but to discontinue production of Scania Citywide, Scania Interlink, and low floor-chassis.
