The information is used by Scania's 1,600 workshops, 15,000 mechanics and 3,000 spare part managers all over the world.

Scania has a history of very good language and translation management. The terminology work is an integrated part of our R&D development work. Our translation work achieves significant cost savings thanks to well-maintained translation memories and cooperation with technically skilled translation suppliers.
