Commenting on how the commercial vehicle industry has fared in 2019 and the company’s outlook for 2020, Petr Novotny said: “Despite the market challenges, the Indian CV industry has continued to evolve holistically in 2019. Safety, efficiency, technology, environment, driver comfort and digitalisation have been at the core of this evolution.
Considering the above trends, the premium segment which is currently at a very nascent stage will continue to grow at a steady rate.
"Furthermore, efforts have been taken in developing a more competent and scalable India organisation as our commitment to the market grows. The reputed Great Place To Work certification conferred to Scania India is another big indicator of our commitment to investing in our people and reinforces our strategy.
“Scania is optimistic about an uptick in CV demand for 2020 and will continue to expand in existing segments while exploring possible investment opportunities to diversify. We will continue to enhance customer profitability and be an active partner in the Indian infrastructure growth story by offering sustainable transport solutions.”
