“I am looking forward to the task,” Levin says.
“Our strategy is to deliver solutions – products and services – that drive profitability for our customers and for Scania.
“Our success is based on a professional sales and service organisation that supplies the right vehicles and the right services for each customer’s unique needs in various segments and applications.”
Part of this will involve alternative fuels and connected vehicles, Levin says, as they “are important parts of our strategy to become leader in sustainable transport.”
Henriksson and Levin will assume their new roles on January 1.
