Dear business partner,

In April 2023, TRATON GROUP (“TRATON”) started the transition from four standalone brand R&D organizations at Scania, MAN, International, and Volkswagen Truck + Bus to one TRATON Group R&D with a dedicated management team, industrial governance, and a joint mindset to optimize our R&D operations to be top-of-mind in transport solutions. The transition involves forming one strong common TRATON Group R&D and preserving the individual Brand Identity Development (BID) in the brands as both are equally important for the success of TRATON.

For the time being, there will be no change in your procurement contact person and point of contact.
In the upcoming months, it is our intention to share with you detailed information as soon as possible and keep you updated on changes whenever you are impacted on, for example information related to TRATON’s future legal entities TRATON AB / TRATON R&D Germany GmbH / TRATON R&D US, LLC such as

• new addresses, bank accounts and value added tax (VAT) numbers to be used in the future
• order management, invoicing, and payment related instructions during the cutover phase in the course of 2025.

We appreciate your continued support, and we are looking forward to strengthening our partnership with you. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to consult your current contact within our brands.

Sincerely yours,
Scania Procurement
