The introduction of the XT range by Scania marks the start of a targeted offensive with tailor-made solutions focused on demanding customers in Europe. "We are putting a higher emphasis on construction," states Henriksson. "We now have the right products, the right services and the right skills to match Scania's leading position in long-distance vehicles."

Transporters in the construction industry normally form part of a larger process and crucially must avoid disruptions. Scania has therefore - in addition to tough and durable vehicles - created an entire ecosystem of services that ensure uninterrupted deliveries while improving customers' profitability.

"The global construction industry continues to grow and Scania now presents enhanced tools to meet the demand," says Henriksson. "We are well aware of the slim margins for many hauliers in this business and we have developed vehicles and solutions to ensure sustained profitability."
