Until 1927 Scania-Vabis had produced their trucks at two sites: at Scania in Malmö and at Vabis in Södertälje. The trucks were built entirely to customer order. This procedure was really not cost effective, Scania-Vabis trucks were very expensive and the company went bankrupt in 1921. After reconstruction, Scania-Vabis emphasized their efforts on a "standard truck" which was first produced in Södertälje in 1925. With this new truck the company started its standardization of components and minimizing the number of variants that has made Scania one of the world's most profitable truck manufacturer.
