TATA set to buy SCANIA!

zippo:
If they do, will they rebadge?
Just can’t see all the Fanny’s in me scanni boys being very happy.

Belter…

SCANIA became SCANNY

They will then offically be known as TATA so…

The shortened version will surely be TATTY…

Affectionately known as Pratty in his Tatty…

:laughing: :laughing:

I didn’t even know they were selling TATA cars in this country… Thx bewick, 6 million is a bit low for half the population of India. :smiley:

I thought Tata had something to do with this already, using PACCAR parts

Dont think so. Tatra history is worth reading. They also built some fantastic looking cars before and after WW2.

They are not known as Scania,s they should be named Condoms because inside every Scania is a Prxxck :Regards Todd

I would like a link to the relevant source for this. Couldn’t find anything on google.

There is this, and there was mention of TATA Consultancy Service handling the sale of land on another site.

Aren’t Scania and MAN quite close these days, and therefore under VW Ownership? I’ve seen a few Scania’s with MAN rear lights on

Here you go.

The two major stockholders of Scania AB (publ) are:
The German automotive company Volkswagen AG is Scania’s biggest shareholder, with a 70.94% voting stake (equity) in Scania. It gained this by first buying Volvo’s stake in 2000, after the latter’s aborted takeover attempt, increasing it to 36.4% in the first quarter 2007, and then buying the remainder from Investor AB in March 2008. The deal was approved by regulatory bodies in July 2008. Scania then became the ninth marque in the Volkswagen Group.
The German truck manufacturer MAN SE holds a 17.37% voting stake in Scania. Notably, Volkswagen AG also owns a 29.9% voting stake in MAN, acquired in Q1 2007.

So they do work together, finally found a pic of the lights I mean on this truck

If they aren’t the MAN lights, they are bloody close!

Who gives a toss a lorry is a lorry :exclamation: :exclamation: They are all about on par with each other these days,30 odd years ago we had to drive them & load them first,now they are loaded & almost drive themselves :laughing: :laughing:

I miss my Scania and I’d have another tomorrow but I don’t know how I’d feel about it if Tata did take them over.

Seen them on many different vehicles,generic rear light cluster that meets C&U regs.

saw a 12 plate SSC Daf last week with a different light cluster and new design mudguards.

To date I’ve only seen them on TGA’s and the odd Scania, Usually generic lights are a lot more basic than that.
