Scania aim to boost production Scania intend to increase production
Published on 2 September 2011
Swedish truck manufacturer Scania is investing ?1.5 billion into its production line in order to increase the volume of trucks manufactured.
Scania are hoping to go from 100,000 to 120,000 vehicles a year and the aim is to reach 150,000 trucks per yer over the next few years.
Anders Nielsen, Head of Production and Logistics stated that the investment will take place over the next few years.
?The investments will take place over the next few years and mainly at our existing cab, engine, gearbox and axle production units in Sweden. These units are still a very important hub in Scania?s operations,? said Nielsen.
?The investments will start to be noticeable in the second half of 2011. They consist of a combination of continued improvements in our production working methods plus some new machinery. But we don?t need to build any new production units. We can achieve a capacity of 150,000 vehicles within the same plant area. In other words, this will involve comparatively small investments, though with a large impact and high cost effectiveness.?
