The global truck demand remains stable, driven by sustained fleet utilisation and replacement needs. The rebound in Latin America, driven mainly by the strong development in Brazil’s agricultural and mining sectors, continues and more than offset the somewhat more normalised market demand in Europe.
Scania’s efforts to create a more resilient vehicle order-to-delivery flow resulted in increased volume, shorter lead times, and improved delivery precision. The increased volume and improved capacity utilisation positively impacted profitability.
“Scania achieved strong sales and its best-ever quarterly earnings. This success is attributed to high production volumes, with deliveries increasing by 17 percent compared to last year. Additionally, the rollout of our new fuel-efficient Scania Super has increased our market shares,” Christian Levin, President and CEO of Scania comments.
