Expected outlook for the division

Expected outlook for the division in 2022

It is considered that delivery times for new vehicles will continue to be long for the remainder of 2022.

In the Scania business, the delivery time for a new truck is currently as much as 14 months, and the order backlog for new trucks is at a record high. The long delivery times risk reducing market shares, but Be-Ge Lastbilar AB’s strong brand means that we will continue to be the market leader.

In the financial year ahead, Be-Ge Personbilar AB expects to be able to deliver from its record-high order backlog and thereby gradually reduce this. Developments in the industry are moving rapidly in terms of which drivelines the vehicles will have in the future. In the passenger car segment, 50% of all cars sold are rechargeable cars, i.e. electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids. On the truck side, the trend is not moving as quickly towards electrical power, but other fuels such as gas, HVO, LNG, etc. are being developed here, all with the aim of reducing the impact on the environment.

The servicing requirements of the new rechargeable cars are less than those of vehicles with internal combustion engines. For this reason, new and supplementary services are being developed for passenger cars and trucks, to meet the falling demand for workshop services.
