Scania appoints new Sales Director

Scania Australia has announced the promotion of Dean Dal Santo to Sales Director, Trucks.

Dal Santo will be responsible for sales of on and off-highway Scania trucks, including the mining and resources business Scania has been building recently, as well as National Fleet, Fire and Specialised Vehicles.

Previously Dal Santo’s title was National Sales Manager, Trucks for Scania. He has worked for Scania for 17 years, and has vast experience in the truck market, having previously run Scania Australia’s pre-sales department.

“I am very excited to accept this new role at this time, as supplies of the very well-received New Truck Generation Scania prime movers and rigids begin to arrive in big numbers in Australia.

“Through this year we have orchestrated a well-planned run down of stocks of the P,G, R range in anticipation of the ramp up of the NTG range, and initial deliveries of these are now reaching customers,” he said.

“It is a good feeling to be able to offer the Australian truck industry such a safe, quiet, comfortable and environmentally-friendly range of vehicles, that are designed to promote our customers’ Total Operating Economy.

“I look forward to working closely with Mikael Jansson our Managing Director, to continue to grow Scania truck sales in Australia.

“Our aim this year is to equal last year’s record delivery result, even though we have been in run-out through much of the year, while the plan for 2019 is obviously to make a significant impact in the market with the full strength of the all new truck range at our disposal,” Dean said.
