KYIV. Aug 22 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Scania Ukraine LLC at the end of last week handed over 15 Scania G400 Euro 5 vehicles to Nibulon, the leading Ukrainian agricultural company, the press service of the auto distributor has said.
The trucks were purchased under the Scania SilverLine program, which includes the purchase of machinery under terms of leasing. The financing was provided by Scania Credit Ukraine, part of Scania Group. The cost of the trucks is not disclosed.
“Strategic partnership between Nibulon and Scania Ukraine began in 2010 with the delivery of the first batch of vehicles. At that time Scania was the only Western manufacturer to offer vehicles as an alternative to KAMAZ and MAZ trucks. The next batch of trucks is the confirmation of our long-term partnership,” head of regional and wholesale sales at Scania Ukraine Valeriy Ostrovsky said.
The press release notes since 2009 Nibulon has been implementing an investment project worth $500 million to revive the Dnipro and Southern Bug (Pivdenny Buh) Rivers as the shipping arteries of Ukraine, with the company’s logistics reorienting almost entirely to water transport.
