OREANDA-NEWS. As previously communicated, Scania, along with a number of other truck manufacturers has been investigated by the European Commission concerning inappropriate exchange of information during the period 1997-2011.

In light of the European Commission’s Statement of Objections and recent developments in the investigation, Scania is now, in accordance with relevant accounting principles and a prudent approach, making a provision in order to cover possible fines.

Scania has fully cooperated with the European Commission during the investigation. However, Scania contests the Commission’s view that the company has entered into a pan-European agreement with other manufacturers with regard to pricing.

Also, the company has not delayed the introduction of new engines compliant with EU-legislation for exhaust emissions.
