Scania sterreich has received a EUR65m contract from the Austrian public procurement organisation Bundesbeschaffungs (BBG) to deliver 485 Scania Euro 6 trucks over the next three years.
Austrian cities, communities and other public organizations including ASFINAG will use these trucks. Scania expects to deliver all the trucks by March 2017.
The trucks will be used for a variety of operations including winter service vehicles, refuse trucks, and trucks equipped with cranes and with dumper bodies.
Scania sterreich director Christian Teichmann said that the framework agreement with BBG is the largest completed agreement in the history of Scania sterreich.
"For Scania sterreich this business is of particular importance as we met the complex technical requirements put forward by BBG and offered a technical and business solution, including well-proven Euro 6 technology, for a variety of vehicle segments," Teichmann added.
