New award for Scania in Brazil:
Leading heavy truck for fifth year in a row 

At present, awards are raining down on Scania in 
Brazil. Last month, Scania was voted the truck 
industry’s ‘Most Admired Company’ by the leading 
business magazine Carta Capital, and the Brazilian 
haulage association, NTC, has now voted Scania the 
winner in its category of ‘Best heavy truck 
manufacturer’ for the fifth year in a row.

The NTC (Associação Nacional do Transporte de Cargas) 
award has gone to Scania for its proven leadership in 
the areas of quality, technology, service and pricing. 
The award was the result of a vote by all of the 
association’s member companies.     

Just a few weeks earlier, Scania was voted ‘Most 
Admired Company’ by the leading Brazilian business 
magazine Carta Capital. In its verdict, the magazine 
referred particularly to Scania’s strong brand, 
innovativeness and spirit of corporate citizenship.

Commenting on the awards, Emanuel Queiroz, head of 
Scania’s marketing operations in the Brazilian market 
said: “These awards are an acknowledgement of the 45 
years that Scania has been operating here in Brazil. 
The Scania name has become synonymous with the best 
truck on the market, both among people in the industry 
and among Brazilian corporate leaders in general.” 

Scania has built and sold 170,000 trucks and buses in 
Latin America – most of them in Brazil – since 1957. 
About 110,000 of these are still in service. 

Scania’s production plants in São Paulo, Brazil, 
Tucumán, Argentina and San Luis
Potosí, Mexico are part of the company’s global 
production network, and also supply vehicles and 
components to the European, African and Asian markets.
