Traton

Vehicle and Equipment Manufacturers

Traton is the commercial vehicle holding company of the Volkswagen Group, formerly known as Volkswagen Truck & Bus, and one of the largest builders of heavy vehicles in the world. Its brands are Scania, MAN, International, Volkswagen Truck & Bus, IC Bus and Neoplan, and its products run from light and medium trucks to heavy trucks, vans and buses. The group grew out of Volkswagen's purchases of Scania and MAN shares between 2000 and 2012, was put under a new subsidiary in 2013, and was renamed Traton in 2018 before it listed in Frankfurt and Stockholm in June 2019. The merger of MAN SE into Traton was completed in August 2021, which left MAN Truck & Bus, Scania and Volkswagen Truck & Bus as direct subsidiaries, and Navistar, now International Motors, joined the group on 1 July 2021. In this atlas the entry is the parent that the MAN truck and bus make links to.
