Selling 150,000 vehicles per year by around 2015 is Scania’s vision for the next decade. This growth will occur in an expanding total market and by means of a greater presence in markets and in segments where there is potential for increased sales of Scania vehicles and services. The road to 150,000 vehicles will also go via continued capital-efficient utilisation of Scania’s development and production resources.
Leif Östling, Scania’s President and CEO, joined the other members of the Executive Board for a Capital Markets Day at the Head Office in Södertälje, where they described the road to 150,000 vehicles per year.
There are suitable macroeconomic conditions for continued expansion in commercial vehicle demand. In the next several years, annual growth in mature economies is expected to be about 2 percent, while the economies of emerging Europe, Asia, northern Africa and southern Africa are projected to expand by 6 percent yearly. These fast-growing markets will be increasingly important to Scania, which expects this trend to be lasting.
