Scania Q2 2026 earnings rise as services boost profitability

Scania reported a strong second‑quarter 2026 performance. Net sales increased 6% to SEK 53.1 billion and adjusted operating margin improved to 11.6% from 9.8% a year earlier. Deliveries rose 7% to 26,274 trucks, including 265 zero‑emission units, while order intake jumped 41% to 28,743 vehicles.

The company highlighted that growing service revenue – maintenance contracts, telematics, fleet management, financing and parts – is now the main driver of higher margins. A shift toward premium, higher‑value trucks also supported profitability. Growth was especially strong in Brazil, aided by the public‑financing Move Brazil programme, and in China, where the new Next Era truck range is being launched.

Scania continued to invest heavily in research and development and in its new Chinese production hub, offsetting cost pressures and reinforcing its long‑term competitiveness.
