Scania is a world-class heavy truck and bus manufacturer based in Sweden, with its headquarters in Södertälje. Total employees exceeded 50,000 in 2025. The brand belongs to the TRATON Group under the Volkswagen Group, with business covering over 100 countries and regions and more than 1,500 service outlets globally. Scania has become the industry benchmark for profitability through its leading modular system.
In 1891, a factory producing railway carriages, VABIS, was established in Södertälje, Sweden, which was the predecessor of Scania. In 1897, VABIS launched Sweden's first automobile; in 1902, the first truck was born. In 1911, VABIS merged with Scania to form Scania-VABIS, which later evolved into the Scania Group. For over a century since then, Scania has continued to focus on its heavy truck and bus business. In the 1990s, it introduced its modular system and gradually expanded global capacity, such as setting up a factory in the Netherlands in 1965. In 2004, the first Euro IV engine was launched, establishing environmental leadership. In 2015, vehicle connectivity was achieved for 150,000 trucks, marking the start of digital transformation. In 2022, a record 110 electric truck orders were received, accelerating electrification transformation.
Scania implements a modular platform, with products covering full lines of fuel, gas, hybrid, and electric vehicles. In recent years, it has promoted a major localization strategy in China. In October 2025, the China Jiangsu Rugao factory, with an investment of 2 billion euros—Scania's largest overseas investment in 60 years—officially started production. Annual capacity is 50,000 units, initially producing advanced Super models for the Chinese and Asian markets. In March 2026, the first batch of NEXT ERA tractors designed specifically for the Chinese market was delivered. The vehicle is based on the TRATON Group architecture, with an appearance blending European style and Chinese aesthetic elements. It is equipped with a 500 hp diesel engine, matched with a self-developed gearbox, and comes standard with the CCAP predictive cruise system to optimize fuel consumption.
Global deliveries in 2025 were 94,073 units, down 7.8% year-on-year, of which trucks accounted for 87,588 units, buses 6,485 units, and powertrains 9,240 units. The services business maintained growth, with revenue increasing 1.3% year-on-year to 44.473 billion Swedish kronor. In the Chinese market, annual import sales from 2024 to 2025 remained around 10,000 units, growing about 20%. The dealer network in China has expanded from 27 to over 40 outlets, and is expected to expand to over 70 by the end of 2026, driving the enterprise to transform into "operational partners".
Scania has a comprehensive layout in the powertrain and electrification fields. In terms of traditional power, the Super fuel system continues to be upgraded, with fuel consumption and emissions reduced by an additional 8% compared to the previous generation, and it is prepared to adapt to the Euro 7 standard. In terms of electrification, in early 2026, Megawatt Charging System (MCS) heavy electric trucks were launched for pre-orders, which can significantly reduce charging time. Regarding hydrogen fuel cells, prototype vehicles are equipped with 400 kW fuel cells, achieving a range of up to 850 km. Extended-range hybrid technology has also been validated in heavy-load scenarios. The Rugao factory adopts a highly modular "Lego-like" design, allowing flexible switching between internal combustion engine and electric systems on the same production line, retaining flexibility for strategic choices of technology routes.
The Rugao factory is Scania's third-largest production base globally, after Sweden and Brazil. After production starts, approximately 50% of output will be exported to Asian and Oceanian markets, leveraging the free trade agreement networks between China and multiple countries to enhance supply chain flexibility. Scania has already established production or assembly bases in several countries, including Brazil, the Netherlands, India, and Argentina. According to data from the Sweden headquarters in October 2025, overseas production covers Europe, Latin America, and Asia, with global procurement and logistics networks fully connected and able to respond flexibly.
Scania has set a mid-2030 goal of electric products accounting for 50% of total sales. To this end, it has planned that four major carbon emission hotspots in the supply chain (batteries, steel, aluminum, and cast iron) will achieve 100% green procurement. It is pursuing a comprehensive upgrade of its value chain in China, expanding financial services, fleet management, used car disposal, and other comprehensive solutions. It plans to increase its dealer network in China to over 70 by the end of 2026. Supported by "global development, regional customization, and a green full chain," Scania is steadily moving toward its goals of zero-carbon logistics and global industry leadership.
