The history of Scania
Scania was founded in 1891. Since then we have built and delivered more than 1,400,000 trucks and buses for heavy transport work.
Today Scania is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of heavy trucks and buses. Industrial and Marine Engines is another important business area. Unlike our competitors, we have systematically concentrated our resources in the heavy transport segment.
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.
Eleven factories in five countries were in 2000 involved in the manufacture of Scania number 1,000,000.
