Scania Reports Strong Second Quarter Driven by Increased Demand and Services Growth
Scania saw a six percent increase in sales revenue for the second quarter of 2026, reaching SEK 53.1 billion. The company reported improved profitability due to higher truck deliveries and a growing services business.
Swedish truck manufacturer Scania reported a strong performance in the second quarter of 2026, with sales revenue rising by six percent to SEK 53.1 billion (compared to SEK 49.9 billion in the same period last year). The company attributed the growth to robust customer demand and an expanding services business.
Deliveries increased by seven percent year-on-year to 26,274 vehicles. Notably, deliveries of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) nearly doubled, reaching 265 units. Order intake saw a significant surge of 41 percent, totaling 28,743 vehicles, with ZEV orders at 321 units.
Profitability improved, with an adjusted return on sales reaching 11.6 percent, up from 9.8 percent. This was supported by higher truck deliveries, a favorable product mix, ongoing cost efficiencies, and the growth in services. These factors offset increased investments in R&D and expenses related to the ramp-up of Scania's industrial hub in China.
"Scania performed strongly during the second quarter," stated Christian Levin, President and CEO of Scania and TRATON Group. "Achieving this against a backdrop of macro-economic and geopolitical uncertainty, and an increasingly competitive global market is especially encouraging. It reflects our strong customer offering and the trust placed in Scania as a long-term partner."
The company continues to invest in technologies, products, and industrial capabilities to enhance its competitiveness and shape the future of transport. Scania has also reported improvements in delivery flow challenges that were experienced earlier in the year.
