Scania’s Global Initiative

“Top Team is a global Scania initiative that celebrates and develops the professionalism of our service teams, strengthening technical capability, efficiency, and collaboration within our workshops,” said Stefan Weber, Director of Aftersales at Scania Australia. He managed the Top Team event held at Scania’s Campbellfield head office in late October.

Team Dandenong’s Performance

Team Dandenong earned the overall title for the second consecutive year, led by team captain Chris Chilver. He described this year’s National Finals as the toughest in the four he has participated in.

“We had good team spirit; we weren’t put off if we had a low score from one of the stations when we went to the next one. It was evident that it was going to be a tough event, so we just buckled down. We allocated each team member to the tasks that best used their strengths. I think we worked quite well together,” Chris explained.
