Scania
The Scania brand presented further product innovations in 2013 and rounded off its range of Euro 6 engines. It also unveiled other innovations such as new safety and driver assistance systems – while continuing to focus on individual customer solutions and cost efficiency.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Scania’s long-term goal is to sell 120,000 trucks, 15,000 buses and 20,000 engines worldwide in 2020. To do this, the brand is systematically enhancing its services. In addition, every vehicle is tailored to meet customer-specific transportation requirements, thus improving its profitability.
In fiscal year 2013, the brand presented the new Scania Streamline, a long-distance model that drives forward its ongoing efforts to reduce fuel consumption. The Swedish commercial vehicles manufacturer also launched a V8 engine with 544 kW (730 PS) and rounded off its offering of Euro 6 engines to a total of 15. These include drivetrains that can be powered up to 100% by biodiesel or gas. In addition, it launched new and enhanced safety and driver assistance systems – one example is the Advanced Emergency Braking system. These systems increase productivity and traffic safety.
The introduction of the Euro 6 emission standard on January 1, 2014 lifted orders for trucks in Europe, in particular in the second and third quarters. Orders also rose in South America.
Scania increased its global deliveries to customers in 2013 by 19.4% year-on-year to 80 thousand vehicles. Demand in the South American (+47.9%) and Western European (+15.6%) markets was up on the previous year. Bus delivery volumes rose by 7.9% to 7 thousand (6 thousand) units. Demand also increased for the service and genuine parts business in the reporting period.
The Scania brand produced 83 thousand vehicles in 2013, 23.8% more than a year earlier. This included 7 thousand buses.
SALES REVENUE AND EARNINGS
The Scania brand’s sales revenue rose by 11.2% to €10.4 billion in the reporting period due to volume-related factors. Nevertheless, negative exchange rate effects together with increased competition and the associated pressure on margins meant that operating profit did not record more pronounced of year-on-year growth, rising to €974 million (€930 million). In 2013, the operating return on sales for the brand was 9.4% after 10.0% in the previous year.
