Scania lands major truck order from Arla

The Danish dairy products group Arla Foods has ordered 193 trucks from Scania,
including both tractor units and distribution trucks for its operations in 
Sweden, Denmark and the United Kingdom. The trucks will be used both for
distribution services in urban environments and for long-haul transport between
the group's depots. Deliveries from Scania will begin during 2008 and will be
completed early in 2009.


The order is one of the largest Scania has received from Scandinavian-based
customers. It also includes repair and maintenance contracts for all of the
trucks.

“Arla's selection of Scania confirms that large customers with operations in a
number of countries not only appreciate the good performance and high quality of
our vehicles. It also shows that our well developed service network meets the
requirements of professional transport operators for maintenance contracts that
ensure high uptime for their trucks,” says Anders Lööf, head of Scania
International Fleet Sales.

The trucks delivered to Arla Foods will be equipped with Scania's 9- or 12-litre
engines, which employ Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology to meet Euro 4
emissions requirements without exhaust aftertreatment.
