Scania to deliver 156 city buses to Berlin

Scania has received an order to provide 156 articulated buses to Berlin’s public
transport provider, Berliner Verkehrsgesellschaft (BVG). The buses are scheduled
for delivery between 2014 and 2017.
“This order is strategically important for establishing Scania in the German bus
market,” says Fredrik Dahlborg, Sales Director for Europe and Eurasia, Buses &
Coaches at Scania.

The delivery to BVG includes 156 Scania Citywide articulated buses powered by
Euro 6 engines and automated gearboxes, as well as a close cooperation for
repair and maintenance needs. In fact, predictable maintenance costs and good
fuel economy were the decisive factors that won the BVG order for Scania.

The BVG order is Scania’s second major bus contract in Germany over a relatively
short period of time. In May 2013, transport operator ADAC Postbus ordered more
than 60 express buses for delivery by early 2014. The majority of these buses
have already been put into operation in 30 major German cities.

“This means we have strengthened our position in two key segments. We can supply
solutions featuring our vehicles and service for city and express bus services
that are attractive to passengers, and ensure high availability and low
operating costs for our customers,” says Dahlborg.
