Scania voted Most Admired Company in the Brazilian truck industry

Scania has been voted ‘Most Admired Company’ by the 
Brazilian business magazine Carta Capital. In its 
verdict, the magazine referred particularly to 
Scania’s strong brand, innovativeness and spirit of 
corporate citizenship.
 
The ‘Most Admired Company’ award, which is modelled on 
the annual corporate rankings published under the same 
name by Fortune in the USA, is based on interviews 
with 1,250 managers from almost 600 Brazilian 
companies.

The companies included in the study were assessed on 
the basis of eleven different criteria. Scania was 
ranked as the best company under six of these, making 
it a clear first ahead of competitors such as Volvo 
and DaimlerChrysler.

"The award is an acknowledgement of the 45 years that 
Scania has been operating here in Brazil. Over the 
years, the Scania name has become synonymous with the 
best truck on the market, both among people in the 
industry and the majority of Brazilian company 
leaders," comments Emanuel Queiroz, head of Scania’s 
marketing operations in the Brazilian market.

Scania has been building trucks and buses in Brazil 
since 1957. In that time, it has sold almost 170,000 
vehicles. Of these, about 110,000 are still in service 
on Brazilian roads according to the national vehicle 
registration authority, Renavam. 

Scania’s production plants in São Paulo, Brazil, 
Tucumán, Argentina and San Luis Potosí, Mexico are 
part of the company’s global production network. 
Vehicles and parts are also supplied to markets 
outside Latin America.
