30 market SCANIA’S – STRATEGY FINANCIAL SERVICES<br />

Part of comprehensive customer solutions<br />

Financial services play a key role for customers by allowing them to efficiently finance<br />

vehicles on good terms. <strong>Scania</strong> conducts its own financing operations in 49 countries.<br />

<strong>Scania</strong> also offers vehicle insurance in more and more markets.<br />

The biggest markets for <strong>Scania</strong>’s financial services are<br />

the Nordic region, Germany, Great Britain, Brazil and the<br />

Benelux countries. Combined, they account for about 60<br />

percent of the total financing portfolio.<br />

The financing portfolio is well-diversified in terms of<br />

geography and types of customers as well as their size,<br />

economic sector and vehicle applications. <strong>Scania</strong> lowers<br />

its risks by means of good risk diversification in geographic<br />

terms and by customer, a conservative credit<br />

policy and a refinancing profile that matches borrowing<br />

to lending.<br />

sold, thanks to strong demand and good cooperation<br />

with the <strong>Scania</strong> sales organisation.<br />

Cooperation with the sales organisation<br />

Closer collaboration between <strong>Scania</strong> Financial Services<br />

and the <strong>Scania</strong> sales organisation is one important<br />

reason behind the expansion of <strong>Scania</strong>’s financing<br />

portfolio. This allows both operations to utilise<br />

each other’s knowledge about customers and their<br />

businesses.<br />

The market recovered after the slump<br />

After the deep slump in the transport industry during<br />

2008–2009, the upturn which began in 2010 accelerated,<br />

and financing volume increased in <strong>2011</strong> compared<br />

to 2010. The restrictive attitude of banks towards vehicle<br />

financing continued, especially in Europe, which contributed<br />

to the increased volume of <strong>Scania</strong>’s financial services.<br />

Pricing of vehicle loans became better in relation<br />

to the risks than during the preceding year, which meant<br />

that the market functioned more effectively.<br />

The number of vehicles repossessed decreased by<br />

27 percent during the year. These vehicles were quickly<br />
