Scania's plans to build more buses and trucks getting into gear despite slow start
Bus-and-truck producer Scania Kapena is expected to complete refurbishment
of its plant in Slupsk by the end of August. The investment will raise the
output of the plant from 160 to between 200 and 250 vehicles per month.
Scania is also to build three service-points throughout Poland. However, the
sales of its buses have not been impressive. The Omni City model has failed
to attract buyers. In related news, Italian company Cacciamali is trying to
purchase 25% of the shares of Kapena. The transaction would raise
Cacciamali's overall stake in Kapena to 85%. In the near future, Kapena is
to begin producing new models that would be sold locally and to the CIS.
