COMMENT: VW’s conquered Scania. So, what next?

It’s taken a while – 14 years in fact – but VW has finally conquered Scania. The German OEM now has effective control of 90.5% of Scania’s capital, meaning that some semblance of strategy can now emerge: "We can now take the next logical and consistent step in our strategy to strengthen the operating integration of Scania, MAN and VW commercial vehicles," said Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn at VW's annual shareholder meeting in Hanover, Germany.
