Scania Used Trucks

Scania, a company regarded as one of the world's leading truck and heavy goods vehicle transportation manufacturers have recently held a European competition to find Scania's Young European Truck Driver 2010 as part of the Young European Truck Driver's Championship. You could grab yourself a used truck from the competition itself thus securing yourself a little piece of competition history. The competition first originated in Europe in 2003 but this year holds a little difference in the calibre of entrants with the emergence of the competitions very first female contestant - Swiss dwelling Sandra Zeller, 24.

Always a winner to incorporate eco friendly issues alongside high performing drivers of either sex in equally impressive machinery. Built for longevity a Scania used truck doesn't have to be a compromise on durability, added comfort or style. Industrial and Marine engine maker Scania employs approximately 32,000 people and currently operates in and around 100 different countries so you could quite easily pick yourself up a Scania used truck with relative ease.

The majority of Scania's operations are conducted in Sweden whilst production takes place throughout Europe and South America.
The event held on October 8th saw eighteen of Europe's best young truck drivers emerge to compete with one another for the acclaimed title of Young European Truck Driver 2010 which is decided via a ream of different battles incorporating skill, dexterity and driving ability to determine who had the necessary skills to trounce the competition. Precision driving events typically attract 5,000 to 10,000 visitors to watch the eighteen contestants compete against each other in various runs which include defensive and fuel economy driving, cargo securing and pre driving check lists. Viewers who prefer to watch from afar can enjoy live updates via www.scania.com alongside continual feed from Twitter and Facebook.


“Everyone is welcome to experience the final and to participate in the many different activities we are organising around the competition area, next to our chassis workshop in Södertälje,” says Mikael Person, who is in charge of the Scania competition.

“This competition puts the spotlight on drivers, celebrates their professional skills and highlights their contributions to society. In this way, we want to raise the status of drivers and attract more young people into the profession,” Mr Person adds.

With an eco friendly message incorporated within the strands of the competition, the driver, according to Scania's values, is the single most important factor in an operating economy for the environment and also, for safety. Drivers who are capable and competent contribute to energy efficient transport, increased road safety and lower fuel emissions. Endorsed by the European Commission and the International Road Transport Union and enjoying sponsorship from major player Michelin, the final held in Sweden will also be backed by commercial giant Volkswagen Group, Sweden. Scania is also running similar competitions in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
