An exceptional performance in both theoretical and practical challenges culminated in a nerve-racking final. Here, the team from Sweden finished in first place and received the prize of EUR 50,000.

Out of 8,000 service technicians and parts experts across 70 countries, they emerged as the winners.


“What makes us strong is the teamwork. We are a small workshop and work closely together every day, and that really showed throughout the competition,” says Jan Olofsson from the winning Team Tveksamm, who was one of twelve service teams that had qualified through regional and national finals for the international Top Team World Final.

Since its start in 1989, Top Team has developed from a national training event into today’s global training programme with focus on practical and theoretical skills. The finalists were: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, China, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, and Germany, and Sweden took the victory. In second place came Australia, followed by New Zealand in third place and Germany – the 2023 World Champions – in fourth place.

Service teams are vital

Our service teams are vital for Scania’s success. Their dedication, knowledge, and efficiency give value to our customers, making sure that their vehicles stay out on the road. The Scania Top Team competition is one way to highlight the importance of service personnel.

“What makes the competition such a great experience is to challenge ourselves, learn new things, and work through situations we do not normally face in our daily work,” says team member Simon Olofsson to other service teams around the globe.

The competition

Scania Top Team begins at the team’s workshop with theoretical challenges. The best teams advance to the national final where theoretical exercises are supplemented with practical exercises. Winners of the national finals meet at the international regional finals. From here, only 12 teams will make it to the world finals. Competition exercises require knowledge, team spirit, and discipline. The competition format follows daily work patterns, the most essential objective being to satisfy the customer's needs.
