Scania AB won an order for 709 buses for the Winter Olympic games in Sochi next year, more than half the amount the Swedish truckmaker, controlled by Volkswagen AG, delivered in Europe last year.
GAZ, a unit of Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska’s Basic Element, will produce the buses using Scania chassis at its plant near Moscow, the companies said today in a statement.
