SCANIA has confirmed that it is range in the USA.
It is not yet clear precisely when sales will begin or which models will be on offer, but Scania intends to concentrate initially on the east coast and dealer recruitment will start soon.
The first vehicles to go on sale there will be imported either from Sweden or from Scania's South American assembly pant, preparing to sell its heavy truck but the Swedish manufacturer's longer term plans are likely to include a US assembly plant.
Scania already has a bus assembly plant with an annual capacity of 200 units at Orange, Connecticut, but there is no question of that being adapted for truck manufacture, a spokesman told CM.
