Scania Ukraine has delivered six 30-ton dump trucks to construction company Express Tekhbud, the distribution company reported on Facebook.
“It is not so often that construction equipment is ordered now, so yesterday’s delivery of 6 Scania dump trucks to Express Techbud was a significant event for us,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
According to Scania Ukraine, cooperation with Express Techbud began in 2021, when the first 10 units of equipment were purchased.
“Currently, the client’s fleet includes 16 Scania P380B8x4HZ Euro5 dump trucks with a Scania P380B8x4HZ body (body heating, Hardox steel) with a technical carrying capacity of 30 tons,” the statement said.
The value of the contract was not disclosed.

According to opendatabot, in 2022, the company’s revenue amounted to UAH 1.65 billion (14.5% less than a year earlier), while net profit increased by 10.6% to UAH 91.38 million.

Nibulon JV LLC (Mykolaiv), one of the largest operators in the Ukrainian grain market, and Scania Ukraine LLC have signed an agreement to purchase 30 Scania R450 trucks, the grain trader’s press service reports.
“The renewal of the fleet is an integral part of ensuring stable exports of Nibulon. In this case, we are talking about increasing the logistics potential for the transportation of grain by land,” the company wrote on Facebook on Monday.
The grain trader noted that due to the reorientation of export chains during the war and the almost complete loss of river navigation, Nibulon’s logistics business is forced to use combined routes, including grain transportation by truck.
“Nibulon has promised to minimize the load on the roads and minimize its environmental impact. Therefore, the grain is transported by trucks on a short arm to elevators with existing rail shipment capacities.
“Nibulon and Scania Ukraine have been cooperating since 2012. In 2022, Scania Ukraine supplied the grain trader with 15 Scania G400 Euro 5 tractors under the Scania SilverLine program, which includes the purchase of equipment on lease, a service contract, driver training, and a fleet monitoring system. The financing was provided by Scania Credit Ukraine, a member of the Scania Group.
The distribution company Scania Ukraine has been operating in the Ukrainian market since 1998 (before that, it had a representative office since 1993). It has nine service centers (including two of its own in Kyiv and Lviv region).
SCANIA is part of Volkswagen Truck & Bus GmbH and is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of trucks and buses over 16 tons. The company employs 46 thousand people and sells its products in more than 100 countries.
Nibulon JV LLC was established in 1991. It is one of the largest operators in the country’s grain market. It has elevator facilities with a total capacity of about 2 million tons, as well as its own transshipment terminal in Mykolaiv with a capacity of 5 million tons.
