Who we are
Trucks Solutions Planning as a team has the global responsibility to drive the direction of Scania’s development to optimize our customers’ and Scania’s profitability, and make us the leader in sustainable transport solutions.

About the role
As Product Planning Manager Powertrain, you own the product strategy for the truck Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) powertrain. You make use of your network within Product Management, the Scania distributor network and R&D to continuously identify the powertrain related product demands that need to be solved for Scania to reach our sales targets. You form and maintain a product strategy solving with these demands, and influence our product development project portfolio both in terms of what projects we start and in terms of how they stay on track. You will work in close collaboration with a Product Analyst, who supports you with analytical activities.

The ICE powertrain product area is of special importance the coming years, in the transition from combustion engines to electrification. We need to make sure we have a competitive offering and generate profit on the sales that is not electrified. At the same time we need the contribution from more energy efficient engines and alternative fuels to honour our Science Based Targets commitment.
