Scania at Bauma 23-29 April 2007: New construction range set for strong growth

Scania is strongly represented at Bauma 2007, the largest construction
exhibition in the world, held in Munich every three years. On display are six
vehicles, four of which with bodywork for tipper operations and one a chassis
that shows vital construction features. Scania also supplies engines adapted for
various types of construction machinery and other industrial applications.

With its new range of construction vehicles, Scania aims to boost global sales
in this market segment by 50% from 10,000 units in 2006 to around 15,000 in
2009. With products renowned for durability and power and a global sales and
service network, Scania has all the prerequisites for strengthening its
position.

Scania in particular targets tipper and mixer operators with a large variety of
configurations and specification options. Scania is also starting to offering
complete turnkey solutions via the Scania network in some markets, cutting
lead-times and providing one-stop-shopping for construction operators.

Scania also has ambitious targets for the industrial and marine engine market.
Sales in 2006 totalled more than 6,600 units and sales are to increase to 10,000
engines by 2010. In the industrial all-speed segment, Scania's goal is to double
sales. Customers in this segment impose the highest demands on operational
reliability, requiring engines to deliver round-the-clock operation, as well as
good environmental and fuel performance.

Wherever present in the world, Scania always offers parts and service as part of
the deal to support operators and thus maximise uptime and performance. Business
support and financial services are also on offer to make sure the customer's
operations run as efficiently as possible.
