    Scania used to sell trucks here in the U.S.,mostly concentrating in the New England region. They were part of Saab(Saab-Scania) from 1969 to 1995.

    Good luck getting spare parts-Caterpillar hasn’t exactly been discounting!

    If you think there’s more Scania engine parts in the U.S. then CAT engine parts your nuts. You realize CAT doesn’t and didn’t just make engines for trucks right?

    I’m very well aware of Caterpillar’s history. Especially since they had plants in my original home state.
    I didn’t say that Scania had more engine parts than Caterpillar however. Also,like Caterpillar, Scania has also diversified in the heavy equipment industry as well!
    And they’re actually in better financial shape than Caterpillar is!
