At the end of March, Scania decided to short-term lay off the majority of its employees and close the factory in Södertälje for a month. This is due to the corona pandemic, which has reduced the demand for trucks at the same time as the supply of components has slowed down. In principle, all staff in Sweden, 19,000 were laid off then. Now it looks like you see the light in the tunnel and in June they returned to normal production and then the layoffs for the staff in production were lifted.
But despite today's announcement that the truck giant is lifting short-term layoffs for white-collar workers, the truck giant continues to plan for staff reductions of 1,000 people in Södertälje.
