Scania starts operations in East Africa

Scania has now started operations in East Africa with a centre in Nairobi, Kenya. In Kenya, an independent distributor has previously represented Scania.

"This is a long term commitment to Kenya and East Africa. The market provides great opportunities and
challenges for the transportation industry," said Managing Director Per Holmstrom, Scania East Africa.

Eastern Africa will now be integrated in Scania's vast global sales and service network, and offer its customers even better support. In Kenya, Scania has dealers in Nairobi, Mombasa and Nakuru. Scania presently has a limited share of the heavy truck market but a significant share of the bus market. With its strengthened commitment, Scania has set ambitious targets for substantial growth.

Scania seeks to be an active part of Kenya's transport sector development by, for example, contributing to a safer and more sustainable traffic environment.
