From global insight to real customer value. After more than 30 years at Scania, Tony Strömberg knows one thing for sure: customer value is never theoretical. It’s built in real conversations, real challenges, and in how you respond when things don’t go as planned. “Things do fail. It’s just how you handle it. A problem doesn’t have to be a problem. It can actually be a strength if you handle it well,” says Tony. Tony’s career has taken him from bus development in Sweden to customer-facing roles across Asia, including six years in Singapore and later Japan as Service Director. Those years reshaped how he sees customer value. In Asia, Tony learned that listening goes beyond words. People may nod in agreement, but body language tells the real story. He also experienced firsthand how hierarchy, trust and relationships shape everyday work very differently than in Sweden’s flat organisational culture. Working close to customers taught Tony that facts alone don’t solve problems. “You can bombard people with figures, but without trust, it’s very difficult to succeed.” That insight now guides his work as Product Planner in bus development, where he helps shape Scania’s long-term bus portfolio based on what truly benefits customers’ businesses – not just what looks good on paper. This perspective also played a key role in a major project, bringing together the Super 13-litre powertrain and Plug-in Hybrid buses – balancing flexibility, sustainability, CO2 reduction and total operating economy across global markets. When asked what has guided him throughout his career, Tony points to two core values: “Respect and elimination of waste. Without respect, you won’t bring people with you. Without eliminating waste, you won’t have a business.” And after more than three decades at Scania? “I like the company. I like what we stand for. I like the people – and what we bring to the world.”

“But to be honest, the electric fleet attracts more attention because it is very simple, adapted, and despite the difficult track here at the proving ground, electric vehicles left the greatest impression on me,” says Vilnius Vorobjovs, Board Member at KS Piena Loģistica. “The technology is very progressive.” As we say at Scania, seeing is believing. At this year’s Scania Winter event, Vilnius Vorobjovs and Piena Loģistica experienced it first-hand. With snow-covered roads and temperatures down to -25°C, the electric trucks handled the conditions with ease, leaving a lasting impression.

What happens when innovation meets collaboration? Scania partnered with LBC - FRAKT I VÄRMLAND AB and Stora Enso to test how electrification can work in one of the most demanding transport environments. The result: an electric truck capable of carrying up to 94 tonnes and transporting 36% more woodchips per trip than a standard vehicle. More cargo per journey means fewer trips, lower emissions, and a more efficient logistics chain. A powerful example of what becomes possible when partners work together to drive the shift to sustainable transport. Swipe to see how the project is redefining heavy transport.

Deep in the forests of northern Sweden, something exciting is stirring: a 70-tonne Scania electric timber truck. Family-run timber haulier Eklunds Åkeri is testing the vehicle with long-time customer Sveaskog, as part of an initiative to scale up electric freight transport – The TREE project. They hope it will make a case for full electrification of the forestry industry, which accounts for 20 percent of Sweden’s heavy road transport and significant CO2 emissions. It’s also an ideal setting for testing the overall viability of electric trucks. “If the forest sector can electrify – with heavy loads, long distances, rural geography and harsh winters – then I don’t see why any other industry shouldn’t be able to,” says Anna Ahlin, Technical Specialist in Logistics and project lead for Sveaskog’s electric timber trucks. “We wanted to test the truck in really tough conditions: poor infrastructure, long distances and a cold climate,” adds Jonas Eklund, CEO of Eklunds Åkeri. Despite one of the coldest winters of recent years, with temperatures of minus 25°C to minus 30°C, the truck has coped. “It has surprised us. It works much better in the cold than we thought,” says Eklund. Range has also exceeded initial assumptions, and although there are challenges around scheduling battery charges for long and remote journeys into the woods, there’s definitely hope in the cold northern air. “In the future we’ll charge much faster, there will be a second-hand market, and the economics will improve,” says Eklund. “Where are we going if not in this direction? We have to reduce emissions from transport.”

Investing in the next generation of innovators is investing in the future of sustainable society. As a sponsor of Sweden’s Young Scientists Research Team (Sveriges Unga forskningslandslag), Scania is proud to support young talents across Sweden who are exploring, questioning and challenging what’s possible. The team, organised by Unga Forskare, brings together some of the country’s most promising students in STEM, selected from hundreds of projects in Sweden’s largest science competition for upper secondary school students. This year’s team reflects the breadth of ideas and perspectives needed to drive real change. Among them are Gabriella Ada and Angelina Fransis from Södertälje, whose project started with a simple question inspired by a viral trend and evolved into an award-winning scientific study. As part of the team, these young researchers will represent Sweden at international science competitions, contributing to a global community of innovation. At Scania, we believe progress starts with curiosity and is driven by those who dare to think differently. By supporting Sweden’s Young Scientists Research Team, we want to help empower the next generation of problem-solvers. Congratulations to all members of Sweden’s Young Scientists Research Team 2026 – we wish you the very best of luck in this year’s competitions.

Can the transition to electric transport be achieved alone? Scania’s CEO Christian Levin explains why partnerships are the key to real progress. By working side by side with customers, early innovation is shaped into scalable, real-world performance. Through pilot collaborations and testing in demanding operations, ideas are proven where it matters most – and made ready for everyday use.

For Khanittha Rotprayun, leadership is not about titles – it is about action. After building her foundation in Thailand’s automotive industry through bus and trailer sales, she found her long-term home at Scania Siam Service Company, where she has spent the past eight years growing her career and expanding her impact. Today, she holds a dual role as Area Manager and Service Sales Manager, overseeing two of Thailand’s ten branches while leading the national service sales team. Her days revolve around KPIs, customer campaigns and direct dialogue with customers, gathering insights and turning feedback into improvements together with head office teams. “It’s sometimes a bit stressful thinking about a particular problem, and I need to work with other departments to solve it,” she says. “But I really enjoy working with challenges and everyday problems.” Her leadership style is present and hands-on, with a strong focus on team development. After hitting every goal set last year, she continues to prioritise growth – mentoring her team and encouraging proactive thinking and career progression within the team. With a new role, new cycle and new targets ahead, she remains motivated by momentum. “It’s in my personality to always want a new challenge in front of me. It means my working life is never boring!”
