He is very dedicated to the CO2 reduction commitments that Scania and the industry have made and will talk about what Scania is doing in Asia to reach zero emissions. It is also well-known that Scania is building its third global production hub in Rugao in China and you will hear more on the background to that important investment.
Scania is very visible in many Asian markets and what is the secret behind the success so far?
