We are proud to highlight that our patron member, Scania, has reached a remarkable milestone at its Zwolle production facility: the completion of the 1,000,000th truck. This landmark vehicle, a powerful V8 770S, was symbolically handed over by Peter Magnusson, Managing Director of Scania Production Zwolle, to Janko van der Baan, Managing Director of Scania Netherlands. During a brief ceremony, Mr. Magnusson expressed his sincere gratitude to all colleagues for their dedication, craftsmanship, and ongoing commitment to excellence.
The celebrations continued with a dynamic and festive event for employees, where the milestone truck was unveiled. The occasion featured fantastic music, production footage, and an impressive drum performance, all highlighting the theme “Made in Holland”, a tribute to the outstanding skill and innovation of the Dutch production team.
The 1,000,000th truck is now set to receive a custom transformation, complete with unique accessories and a bespoke design. Its official public debut will take place at the Truckstar Festival in Assen on 26 & 27 July.
“This achievement not only marks a proud legacy for Scania Production Zwolle but also represents a powerful promise for the future of Scania in the Netherlands and beyond.” – Peter Magnusson, Managing Director
