Scania has announced its latest member of its executive board as well as head of mobility solutions
Heavy vehicle brand Scania has appointed a new executive vice president and head of mobility solutions.
From November this year, Gustaf Sundell, who was previously head of strategy and corporate management at Scania, has assumed the role and formed part of Scania’s executive board.
Sundell reports to Scania and Traton Group CEO and president Christian Levin.
“In his capacity as heading up the strategy department, Gustaf’s contributions to making Scania equipped for an evolving eco-system have been great,” Levin says.
“With his leadership, commercial expertise and solid experience from Scania internationally, he has a good background to continue to develop the area of Mobility Solutions and secure a close connection to the other functions, as well and contribute to our executive management team.”
Mobility Solutions, which includes the wholly owned subsidiary LOTS Group, is a unit that was formed in the spring of 2021 with the purpose to capture market opportunities in the future transport ecosystem.

The unit is driving the development of new business models outside the current core business, increasing Scania’s role in the transportation and logistics value chain, as well as developing and commercializing the autonomous offering.
“Our industry is going through a major transformation driven by technology and demands from customers and society. Scania’s purpose is to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system and by working closely with our customers, we have a good understanding of what is required,” Sundell says.
“We need to strengthen our capabilities of handling business innovation outside our current core business in order to solve the complex challenges developing in our ecosystem and accelerate the shift together with our customers and partners.
“It is a very inspiring and important challenge that I am looking forward to addressing.”
