Scania was formed in 1911 through the merger of Södertälje-based Vabis and Malmö-based Maskinfabriks-aktiebolaget Scania.

In 2022, the company employed approximately 56,927 people around the world.
Scania was listed on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm stock exchange from 1996 to 2014. The company is a subsidiary of Traton, part of the Volkswagen Group.
Scania's logo shows a griffin, from the coat of arms of the province of Scania (Swedish: Skåne).
