Sales of Scania trucks in Thailand continue to grow on the back of rising investment in the public and private sectors. Scania has its own assembly plant in Samut Prakan with an annual capacity of 600 units, covering buses and trucks. Mr Dorski said the large commercial truck market increased by 8.5% to about 17,000 vehicles last year, while the bus market also rose by 9.7% to 1,600 vehicles. Thailand's truck sales peaked at 31,000 units in 2013, 271 of which were sold by Scania, a 67% increase over the previous year. Scania's truck sales fell to 240 in 2014 and 170 in 2015, with the overall Thai truck market falling to 21,000 units and 16,500 units, respectively.
