I want to know about the volvo buy of scania?

Although Volkswagen had been approached during the 1950s about building such a vehicle and had subsequently passed on the proposition, the then-current management of the company saw the project as having some amount of potential as a consumer vehicle; Mexican customers were asking for something that could better handle rural roads than the Beetle, which was a large seller in Mexico at the time, and the popularity of VW based dune buggies within the U.S. made executives think that a durable, fun, off-road capable vehicle would become attractive to many buyers. By using existing parts, the company could keep cost to a minimum and thus maximize profitability.
