A team from Scania’s company-owned Dandenong Branch has won the Australian National Top Team competition for the second consecutive year. They will travel to Bangkok in early 2026 to compete in the Asian Regional finals, aiming to claim one of two spots available for the World Finals in Sweden.
Seven teams from Scania’s Australian branches competed in the National Finals after a knockout round involving eight other teams nationwide.
“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, overseeing the event held at the Campbellfield head office in late October.
Under the leadership of team captain Chris Chilver, Team Dandenong achieved the overall win for the second year running. Chris described this year’s National Finals as the toughest among the four he has participated in throughout his career.
“We had good team spirit; we weren’t discouraged by low scores at one station because we focused on the next. It was clear the event would be challenging, so we committed fully, assigning tasks based on each member’s strengths. I think we worked quite well together,” explained Chris.
Team Dandenong demonstrates strong collaboration and technical prowess, ambitions set on the global stage.
