This Is Us

Scania has decided to establish a third industrial hub in China with the capacity to produce some 50 000 vehicles per year. Alongside building a new factory and an expansion of the sales network we will also establish a local R&D organisation in China. Our mission in R&D Industrial Operations Asia is to develop trucks specially adapted for the Chinese market, the biggest commercial vehicle market in the world. This requires many new systems and functions to be developed, tested, and introduced. 

A dedicated organisation will carry out the work, which will develop and manage the products over time. This global team will consist of colleagues based in Sweden and many new team members in China, representing a wide range of nationalities and cultural backgrounds. We are building the organisation simultaneously as we develop the product.
