Scania Group sales revenue dips 10% in Q2 2025

Scania Group reported a 10% decline in sales revenue from April to June 2025 compared to the same period last year, with revenue dipping to SEK 49.9 (55.4) billion. Unit sales (vehicle deliveries) were down 5% for the period to 24,602 vehicles.

Operating result (adjusted) fell by 44% to SEK 4.5 (8.0) billion, with Scania citing lower delivery volumes, currency headwinds, market mix and cost related to work on the Group’s Rugao, China production site. As a result, the operating return on sales (adjusted) was 9.0% (14.5).

Sales revenue in the second quarter was negatively impacted by the decline in truck deliveries (unit sales) compared to the same period 2024, particularly in Latin America, Christian Levin, President and CEO, Scania and Traton Group indicated. In Brazil, he attributed weakening market momentum driven by high interest rates, inflation and elevated dealer stocks contributed to reduced demand.

Scania’s total incoming orders for trucks rose 6% in Q2 to 20,393 vehicles over the same period in 2024. However, while the continued decline in Latin America was offset by stronger orders in Europe, Levin said the upward trend in order intake seen in previous quarters has reversed.

“Stable production in previous quarters meant we have gradually reduced the order book to more normal levels,” he said. “Looking ahead, Scania is adjusting the production rate globally in the second half of 2025 to ensure our operations remain aligned with current uncertain market conditions.”

The company has maintained a stable European market share of 17.9% (18.2) during the first half of 2025, despite challenging conditions in a contracting heavy truck market, Levin commented. On the bus side, positive momentum continued, with a high level of deliveries and order intake.

The service business continued to generate stable, recurring revenue streams, which Levin said helps to offset fluctuations in new vehicle sales. In the first half of 2025, service revenue grew by 5% adjusted for currency.

In addition, the financial services business saw its portfolio grow by 2% in the first half of 2025. “Currently, more than a third of trucks sold are financed by Scania Financial Services. Beyond strengthening customer loyalty and retention, this business plays a key role in supporting our transformation, including the shift to electric and autonomous solutions,” Levin said.

Highlights noted from the second quarter include the addition of a new three-axle low-entry chassis variant in the electric bus range; the launch of a new Megawatt Charging System for trucks; and the expansion of the Super powertrain portfolio with the launch of the new Super 11 engine.

Levin also pointed to the Traton R&D business, which is now live and operational – the latest milestone in the ongoing integration with Traton Group.

“This means we can pool the capabilities of our entire industrial group through this outstanding research and development and production network we are creating,” he stated. “Along with the solid resources provided by Group integration, this gives us stability to invest in a sustainable future, securing growth, innovation and increasing customer value.”
