Scania CV India, a subsidiary of Scania Group, has launched the new U-BODY tipper truck for the country’s mining sector.

Commenting on the new offering Scania’s Director, Business Support for Commercial Vehicles India, Hanna Johansson said, “Besides being a manufacturer of heavy trucks and buses, Scania is increasingly developing new ways of delivering customer value based on a full service offering that delivers life cycle profitability.”

“Our solutions approach will add value to customers and bring down total cost of ownership,” she said.

“Scania leverages innovative thinking, develops partnerships and works extensively within the logistics flow to capture efficiencies and secure customer profitability,” noted Raghavan Srinivasa, Director, Sales (Trucks) at Scania Commercial Vehicles India.
