Scania continued its strong financial performance in the second quarter, driven by increased vehicle sales and a growing service business. Vehicle deliveries increased by 8 percent, reducing the order backlog to more normal levels.
“With higher delivery volumes and a favourable product and price mix, we once again achieved a record operating income for a single quarter,” Christian Levin, President and CEO of Scania comments on the quarter.
Scania’s vehicle order intake saw a slight decline of 3 percent in the second quarter.
“In Europe, the truck market has returned to more normalised demand levels. While the replacement need remains, high interest rates cause customers to be more cautious with their purchases. In Latin America, the strong development in Brazil is continuing,” says Levin.
