Description
Swedish truck manufacturer Scania is reducing their production and will cut 100 jobs in Sweden. This is part of a global restructuring in which Scania will not prolong 1,000 fixed-term contracts, of which 100 are in Sweden, 200 in Europe and 700 in South America.
Reason for the workforce reduction is said to be a slowed production rate within the company.
