if there is a request for supplies from Crimea for our products, we will be forced to refuse. We must take into account that we are a Russian and a European company at the same time and are subject to two laws,” Tardell quotes "News".
The official website of the European Union contains a list of sanctions imposed by the EU Council in 2014 and relating to Crimea. There are no direct indications of a ban on the supply of trucks, but one of the points in the document talks about a ban on the export of transport to Crimea and Sevastopol, which, apparently, determined Scania’s decision.
In 2014, Scania became the leader in the sale of trucks with a gross weight of over 16 tons among foreign companies on the Russian market.
