Scania Navigates Challenging Global Market Conditions While Strengthening Orders and Sustainability Performance in 2025

(IN BRIEF) Scania reported resilient financial and sustainability performance for 2025 despite a challenging global environment characterized by geopolitical uncertainty, market volatility and currency headwinds. The company recorded sales revenue of SEK 198.5 billion for the year, an 8 percent decline compared with 2024, while adjusted return on sales reached 10.7 percent. Vehicle deliveries totaled 94,073 units, including 602 zero-emission vehicles, and incoming orders increased by 14 percent to 92,351 vehicles, with stronger order intake recorded in the fourth quarter. Scania maintained a strong position in the European heavy truck market with a 17.6 percent market share, supported by demand for the Scania Super powertrain and efficient delivery lead times. Financial results were influenced by lower volumes and the strengthening Swedish krona, although the company benefited from strong service business performance and improved operational efficiency. During the year Scania simplified its organizational structure, expanded its presence in China, invested further in electrification and charging infrastructure, and launched a new TRATON Group-wide research and development organization. The company also reported significant progress in sustainability, reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions from its own operations by nearly 54 percent since 2015 and surpassing its Science Based Target for operational emissions.

(PRESS RELEASE) SÖDERTÄLJE, 4-Mar-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Scania has released its financial and sustainability results for 2025, reporting resilient performance despite a challenging global environment marked by geopolitical tensions, market uncertainty and currency pressures. While vehicle deliveries and revenue declined during the year, the company maintained a strong market position in Europe and saw improved order intake toward the end of the year, reflecting strengthening customer confidence.

For the full year 2025, Scania generated sales revenue of SEK 198.5 billion, representing an 8 percent decline compared with SEK 216.1 billion in the previous year. Adjusted return on sales reached 10.7 percent, compared with 14.8 percent in 2024. Vehicle deliveries totaled 94,073 units, down 8 percent year-on-year, while incoming orders increased by 14 percent to 92,351 vehicles. Deliveries of zero-emission vehicles continued to grow, reaching 602 units during the year compared with 266 units in 2024.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company recorded sales revenue of SEK 52.8 billion, also down 8 percent from the same period a year earlier. Adjusted return on sales for the quarter stood at 11.0 percent compared with 14.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024. Vehicle deliveries during the quarter reached 25,682 units, including 222 zero-emission vehicles, while incoming orders increased by 9 percent to 26,704 units.

The global transport industry experienced considerable macroeconomic volatility during the year. Demand weakened in parts of Latin America and the European market returned to more normal levels following exceptionally strong demand in 2024. However, toward the end of 2025 the company saw a noticeable improvement in order intake in Europe, suggesting growing confidence among transport customers.

Scania’s position in the European heavy truck market remained strong despite the softer market conditions. The company secured a market share of 17.6 percent during the year, supported by strong customer demand for the Scania Super powertrain and relatively short delivery lead times.

Financial performance was influenced by the reduction in vehicle deliveries, although a robust service business helped offset part of the decline in revenue. Currency developments also played a significant role, as the Swedish krona strengthened considerably during the year. This had a negative effect on profitability when compared with the previous year’s exchange rate levels.

The company noted that adjusted return on sales in the fourth quarter would have reached approximately 13.5 percent if exchange rates had remained at the same levels as in the fourth quarter of 2024. Despite these pressures, Scania reported strong cash generation in the final quarter of the year, supported by ongoing initiatives aimed at reducing structural costs and improving operational efficiency.

Throughout 2025, Scania continued to advance several strategic initiatives designed to support long-term growth and innovation. The company simplified its organizational structure to better adapt to evolving market conditions and continued to invest in electrification technologies, charging infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities.

A key strategic development during the year was the launch of a TRATON Group-wide research and development organization. The initiative aims to accelerate innovation across the group while ensuring that product development remains closely aligned with changing customer requirements. Scania also expanded its industrial footprint in China, which the company views as an important market for future growth.

Sustainability remained a central focus in the company’s strategy. Scania published its first Sustainability Statement prepared under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, highlighting progress made in reducing emissions and improving environmental performance.

Since 2015, Scania has reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from its own operations by nearly 54 percent, exceeding its Science Based Target for operational emissions. The company emphasized that while reducing emissions from its own operations is an important milestone, the broader transformation of the transport sector remains essential, as the majority of emissions occur during the use phase of vehicles.

Scania continues to pursue initiatives aimed at accelerating the transition to sustainable transport solutions while maintaining operational resilience and competitiveness in an evolving global market.
