Scania Australia says it is pleased to announce the promotion of Julian Gurney to the position of sales director, Buses and Engines.
Gurney is now responsible for sales of the full range of Scania buses and coaches, as well as the industrial and marine range of engines.
Previously, he was national sales manager, Buses and Coaches, for Scania. Gurney has worked for Scania for 12 of the 14 years he has been in the bus industry.
“I am very excited to accept this new role at this time. The launch of the fully integrated Scania Touring [coach] recently has been the culmination of a lot of hard work from our entire bus and coach team, and the Industrial and Marine Engine division is going from strength-to-strength, driven by industry recognition of Scania’s proven fuel- consumption savings and fantastic uptime,” Gurney said.
“With a projected near record level of deliveries scheduled for 2018, and a very strong carry-over ‘order book’ for 2019, we can see a high level of ongoing customer confidence in Scania’s vehicle and engine product,” he added.
“I look forward to working closely with our managing director, Mikael Jansson, to continue to grow Scania bus, coach and engine sales in Australia,” he said.
