Scania Enhances Executive Board to Improve Organizational Efficiency and Market Position

In a strategic move to bolster its competitiveness and adapt to the rapidly evolving automotive landscape, Scania has announced the addition of three key executives to its Executive Board. These appointments are crucial as the company aims to streamline operations, enhance its responsiveness to market dynamics, and reinforce long-term growth strategies.

Organizational Structure Changes

As the transport industry faces unprecedented changes driven by technological advancements, regionalization, and shifting consumer demand, Scania is actively revising its organizational framework. This transformation includes the unification of Sales and Marketing with Commercial Operations into a new entity called Scania Commercial, set to launch on January 1, 2026. This consolidation aims to harmonize global market strategies with sales execution and commercial development, thereby enhancing customer value and operational efficiency.

Stefano Fedel has been appointed as the Executive Vice President and Head of Scania Commercial. With over two decades of experience at Scania, Fedel's extensive background in various senior roles equips him with a unique understanding of global market trends and customer needs. According to Christian Levin, President and CEO of Scania, Fedel’s ability to translate strategy into actionable results makes him particularly suited to lead this new commercial unit.

Focus on the Expanding Chinese Market

China remains a focal point for Scania as it ranks among the world’s largest transport markets. Recognizing this potential, Scania has appointed Camilla Dewoon as the Executive Vice President and Head of Scania Group China, effective January 1, 2026. Dewoon brings a wealth of leadership experience from her time in various roles, including her current position as Head of China Governance. Levin emphasized her proven track record in brand development and international growth as essential to successfully navigating the complexities of the Chinese market.

Dewoon's expertise in stakeholder engagement will be instrumental in aligning Scania’s global strategies with local execution, crucial for realizing the company’s ambitious growth objectives in Asia.

Merging Strategy and Communications

In addition to the new appointments, Scania is merging its Strategy and Corporate Management functions with Communications and Sustainability to form a unified Strategy and Communications unit. This new department will be led by Anna Carmo e Silva, who has been appointed as the Executive Vice President and Head of Strategy and Communications as of December 1, 2025.

Carmo e Silva's strong background in strategic planning, coupled with her extensive tenure at Scania, positions her to lead this initiative effectively. Levin highlighted her capability to translate strategic objectives into real-world applications, allowing Scania to maintain clarity and cohesion amid ongoing transformations in the business environment.

Conclusion

These appointments are part of Scania's broader strategy to improve operational efficiency and adapt to the rapidly changing transportation landscape. While the size of the Executive Board remains unchanged, the reallocation of responsibilities signals a proactive approach to leadership that prioritizes both immediate performance and long-term strategic alignment. As Scania continues to evolve, the company’s focus on strengthening commercial operations and enhancing market presence will be critical in achieving its growth ambitions.
