“Our focus is on helping customers improve productivity while reducing their environmental impact through innovative transport solutions and value-added services: Mr. Silvio Munhoz, Managing Director, Scania Commercial Vehicles India.
The commercial vehicle industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation, driven by sustainability, digitalisation, and the need for greater operational efficiency. Globally, the focus is shifting towards decarbonisation, connected transport solutions, and resilient supply chains, while in India, continued investments in infrastructure, mining, and logistics are creating strong demand for reliable, productive, and fuel-efficient transport solutions.
Customers today are looking beyond the vehicle itself and focusing on total cost of ownership, uptime, safety, and fleet productivity. As a result, digital services, connected vehicles, predictive maintenance, and data-driven fleet management are becoming integral to business success, Mr. Munhoz said.
Looking ahead to 2030, the transition to sustainable transport will require multiple technologies working together. Battery-electric solutions, renewable fuels, and other low-emission technologies will each have an important role depending on the application and market readiness. The future of commercial transport will be defined by manufacturers that can combine sustainable technologies with intelligent services to deliver greater value for customers.
Building for Tomorrow
“Scania’s vision is to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system, and this continues to shape our strategy globally as well as in India. As we move towards 2030, our focus is on helping customers improve productivity while reducing their environmental impact through innovative transport solutions and value-added services.
In India, along with our dealer network, we remain committed to supporting demanding applications, particularly in the mining and heavy-duty segments, where performance, reliability, fuel efficiency, and uptime are critical. Alongside our premium products, we are strengthening our connected services, predictive maintenance capabilities, and customer support to maximise operational efficiency throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
Sustainability and customer success remain at the heart of everything we do. By combining global innovation with solutions tailored to the Indian market, Scania aims to be a trusted long-term partner in building a safer, smarter, and more sustainable transport ecosystem,” Mr. Munhoz added.
