Scania Mexico opened its 18th branch in the country, located in Villahermosa, Tabasco , continuing its national expansion plan and strengthening its customer service network.
“This opening reflects our commitment to being close to those who trust Scania every day. Behind every kilometer traveled is a business, a family, and a story that requires friendly, timely, and quality service, and Villahermosa allows us to be closer to them,” emphasized Gisela Quintero, the company’s Director of Customer Experience and Services.
The new facility represents a strategic location for the Swedish-based automaker in southeastern Mexico, the company emphasized in a statement.
“Villahermosa is consolidating its position as a logistics and energy hub for this region of the country, connecting Tabasco with key states such as Veracruz, Chiapas, Campeche, and the Yucatán Peninsula, where the Distribution Centers (CDI) of major supermarket chains are located. It is also a large oil-producing region linked to the Olmeca Refinery and the ports of Dos Bocas and Frontera,” the company emphasized.
The opening of this branch represented an investment of 23.56 million pesos , which aims to consolidate Scania’s presence in the southeast of the country and provide first-class service to the region’s customers.
“Villahermosa is strategic because it connects Tabasco to the peninsula and to high-impact logistics corridors . More than 270 Scania units circulate here , and customers will now have access to modern infrastructure, certified technicians, and spare parts availability to keep their operations moving,” said Manuel Aranda, Scania’s Retail Director.
The facility has a total area of 1,604 square meters (m²), including a 940 m² workshop and a 218 m² warehouse , as well as spaces designed for clients and employees such as a dining room, coworking space, bedrooms, dressing rooms and showers, a rest area for operators, and parking.
The workshop features four service bays—including one for gas engines and one for buses—as well as a stationary pneumatic and lubricant network, and eight mobile cooling units.
A team of nine direct employees—including advisors, technicians, and parts specialists, all trained to ensure timely and quality service—are servicing the new unit.
In terms of sustainability , the branch incorporates LED lighting, which reduces electricity consumption. It also has eight cooling units for thermal comfort , which reduce the need for heating, and an air extraction system that regulates temperature and humidity. “Thanks to these solutions, we optimize resource use, save energy, and actively contribute to environmental protection.”
In addition to selling cargo vehicles, buses, and special applications, the Villahermosa branch will offer certified technicians in CNG technology (gas engines), as well as a large spare parts warehouse and assistance team.
With the new facility, Scania reaffirms its vision of being a strategic partner for transportation in Mexico, offering comprehensive solutions focused on innovation, after-sales service, and sustainability .
It’s worth remembering that Scania operates in more than 100 countries and has 59,000 employees.
