Various support programmes have been developed in consultations between the company and the trade unions that for instance will offer the affected employees the possibility of early retirement and redundancy payment.

Therefore, we have to adjust production to significantly lower volume,” says Klas Dahlberg, Senior Vice President, Scania Buses & Coaches.
