Since the 1970s, Scania has been an active partner in Singapore’s revolution of its transportation system. Today, Singapore Bus Service Transit (SBST) alone has over 1,100 Scania buses and coaches that help form the backbone of Singapore’s above ground public transport system. Its role in Singapore continues to expand in breadth and depth. In 2003, Scania Singapore Pte Ltd was established as a wholly owned subsidiary here.

The event was graced by the presence of the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden, His Excellency Sven Håkan Oskar Jevrell. A key highlight of the event was the unveiling of the new Scania Streamline.
