The Scania logo combines the brand’s name in text form with a graphical symbol — the head of a griffin placed inside a stylized ring resembling a gear hub. The griffin is a heraldic element from the coat of arms of Skåne, the Swedish province where one of Scania’s predecessor companies originated. The symbol first appeared in 1901 when the company produced bicycles. The modern version with the griffin in a circle was designed in 1984, and in 1995 it was adapted as the logo for the independent Scania brand after the split from Saab. In 2017, the logo was refreshed with simplified shapes, a metallic 3D effect, and a modern geometric typeface that reflects the brand’s strength and technological character.
Scania AB is a Swedish manufacturer of heavy trucks, buses, and diesel engines, founded in 1911 through the merger of Scania from Malmö and Vabis from Södertälje. The company quickly became a leader in the commercial vehicle market thanks to its engineering reliability and modular construction approach. Today, Scania is part of the Traton Group (Volkswagen Group) and operates manufacturing and service facilities worldwide. The company focuses on energy-efficient transport, including electric models, emission reduction systems, and integrated logistics solutions for freight transportation.
