Over a four-week period Scania hosted in excess of 1000
customers from around the world as part of the new V8 range
launch drive experience.
Prior to the Italian test event, CablePrice took the customer
group to visit the home of Scania in Södertälje, Sweden,
where they visited the Scania foundry, assembly plant and the
company’s demo centre test track, and also met company CEO,
Leif Ostling, and company vice president, Martin Lundsten.
On route to the Italian driving experience, the group also
stopped over in the Netherlands to visit the Scania assembly
plant in Zwolle, where the majority of the Scania trucks
destined for New Zealand are assembled.
There are not too many trucks that
I’ve driven that you have to slow down for
corners going uphill with 40-tonne on!
In the terrain we were driving on in Italy, it
was impressive to say the least.”
- Dean Alderson, Alderson Bulk Haulage
The sharp cornering and steep slopes
of Mt Blonc, in Northern Italy, provided
the perfect live test track for the V8s.
