SCANIA INTERIM REPORT– JANUARY – MARCH 2006

"Strong demand for transports in Europe is contributing to an increase in order bookings. Also affecting demand is that some European customers are bringing forward their investments in vehicles, due to the introduction of digital tachographs in May and the Euro 4 environmental regulations, which enter into force in the autumn of 2006. This may lead to a slower pace of order bookings in Europe during the second half of 2006, which may then affect deliveries late in the year and early in 2007,” says Leif Östling, President and CEO. *
