New joint R&D organisation
In April, the various TRATON Group brands’ research and development teams were unified in one group R&D organisation. All brands keep their own brand identity teams (BID) to preserve brand character and customer promise. Scania’s BID is led by CTO Sara Forsberg. This will help bring Scania’s sustainable solutions to market quicker and with increased efficiency, with the support of the common tools and principles of the unified TRATON Group R&D structure.
Scania adds new factory in China
Scania is establishing its third global industrial hub – after Europe and Latin America – in Rugao, located 150 km northwest of Shanghai. The site, designed to operate entirely on renewable energy, is a key step in increasing production capacity and driving future growth. Production will focus on vehicles with low fossil fuel consumption, serving both the Chinese market and Asian export markets. The factory is expected to open in 2025. To capture China’s technology-leading expertise in the heavy vehicle industry, a local R&D organisation has been set up, benefiting all brands within the TRATON Group.
