About us

TRATON GROUP

With its brands Scania, MAN, International, and Volkswagen Truck & Bus, the TRATON GROUP is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of commercial vehicles. The Group’s portfolio consists of trucks, buses, and light-duty commercial vehicles, as well as the sale of spare parts and customer services. The TRATON GROUP also offers a broad range of financial services to its commercial vehicle customers. We believe that the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. With the help of our brands, we have the collective power to make a difference.

Strategy

  • The TRATON GROUP’s strategy, the TRATON Way Forward, is based on the long-term vision of how TRATON will manage the growing importance of sustainability, decarbonization, and digital transformation, and hence the resulting changes expected in the transportation and logistics industry.

    This strategic framework aims to leverage the opportunities resulting from these changes. The TRATON Way Forward consists of three pillars, together with an additional focus on the systematic implementation and execution of the strategy. The elements are: (1) Responsible Company; (2) Value Creation; (3) TRATON Accelerated!; and (4) Strategy Execution.

Our culture, values and purpose

TRATON is convinced that a company’s culture is key to its commercialsuccess. And the foundation of this culture is created by corporate values that are shared by all employees. That is why the entire TRATON GROUP has five joint core values: Customer First, Respect, Team Spirit, Responsibility, and Elimination of Waste.

These values complement the purpose that TRATON has defined for itself: Transforming Transportation Together. For a sustainable world. At TRATON, we are working hard to make the entire transportation industry more sustainable. To achieve this goal, we are continuously developing our value chain further — in economic, but also ecological and social terms. As part of this process, we aim to generate the maximum benefit for our customers and society at large over the entire life cycle of our products.
