Product Manager Travel Solutions

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

 

Are you looking for a way to really make a difference? Reducing CO2 emissions is a crucial part of making transport sustainable. When people choose to travel together rather than separately, the world becomes more sustainable. When they travel in a coach-powered by renewable fuels, then we are truly making a difference.
