(SeaPRwire) –   SÖDERTÄLJE, Sweden, April 29, 2026 — Profitability Remains Steady Amid Reduced Volumes and Heightened Uncertainty

First Quarter 2026 Highlights:

• Sales revenue fell by 8% to SEK 44.9 billion (compared to SEK 48.9 billion in the prior year quarter)
• Adjusted return on sales stood at 11.0% (slightly down from 11.1% in the same period last year)
• Vehicle deliveries dropped 6% to 20,978 units, including 130 Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) (up from 104 in the prior year quarter)
• Order intake rose 10% to 27,318 vehicles, with 342 being Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) (an increase from 154 in the same period last year)

Scania turned in a strong first quarter performance in 2026, even as geopolitical uncertainty intensified. Though unit sales were lower and currency impacts were negative, the company maintained its profitability thanks to cost-saving measures and the robustness of its service division.

Scania’s first-quarter sales revenue declined, which can be attributed to lower volumes—primarily stemming from delivery flow constraints. Profitability stayed consistent with the same quarter a year earlier, despite adverse currency effects, driven by improved cost efficiency and sustained strong performance in the service segment.

Total order intake saw a significant rise in the first quarter. In Europe, demand began robustly but weakened as the quarter drew to a close, due to growing economic instability linked to the war in Iran—adding more layers of complexity to an already uncertain business environment. In Latin America, order intake growth was fueled by Brazil, where a subsidized loan scheme for fleet upgrades boosted demand.

“Scania delivered a strong performance this quarter, with robust service segment momentum and healthy truck orders, even as delivery volumes were lower. Our efforts to build resilience—such as expanding our footprint in China and enhancing speed, efficiency, and cost competitiveness—are starting to yield results, enabling us to navigate a turbulent market,” states Christian Levin, President and CEO of Scania and the TRATON Group.
