Are you looking for a way to truly make a difference for a sustainable future? Are you passionate about leading and empowering people? Do you want to be part of shaping and electrifying one of the most progressive sectors to be found in the transport area and develop solutions for our customers?

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions – come join us on our journey!

The Bus & Coach industry has been undergoing major challenges connected to the global pandemic, but the larger trends are not going away and the need for efficient, reliable and comfortable ways to move around will continue. The urgency of finding more environmentally friendly ways to fulfil that need is growing. When people choose to travel together rather than separately, we together take responsibility for our planet and the world becomes more sustainable. And when they travel in a bus or coach powered by renewable fuels or green electricity, then we are really making a difference. We are in a very exciting time with major changes in the industry as well as within Scania, seeing and influencing first-hand the transition to sustainable people transport, and this is an opportunity to be a central part of that journey.
