Two brands, only one research and development department: that is what the Traton group, owner of the MAN and Scania brands, has decided. However, this change only has consequences for a relatively small number of people: of the 12,000 people who have been working at the same entity since 1 July, 9000 were no longer attached to a certain brand. According to Niklas Klingenberg (member of the Executive Committee of Traton, responsible for research and development) “the closer cooperation and development cooperation and development will make us faster and more efficient, so that we can develop more targeted innovations and bring our products on the market faster. In this way we can prevent double work and at the same time constantly coordinate our product range.” ”
