Scania starts operations in East Africa

Scania has now started operations in East Africa with a centre in Nairobi, Kenya. In Kenya, an independent distributor has previously represented Scania.“This is a long term commitment to Kenya and East Africa. The market provides great opportunities and challenges for the transportation industry,” says Managing Director Per Holmström, Scania East Africa. The East African transport sector is expected to grow by 10–15 percent annually, driven by strong economic growth. “This economic growth will generate a greater transport flow of goods from the port of Mombasa into eastern Africa.”
