My judgement:
 Scania is a responsible company with enough resource
and experience to be environmentally concern
 They regard the integration of environmental work into
all of its processes as a competitive key factor
 Scania is renowed within the truck industry for the
attention it pays to environmental concerns

Comparaison with the competitors
 In Europe, Scania is the most ”green” lobby
constructor
 GM ,Ford and Chrystler have formed a vehicle
recycling partnership
