1 September 2010

Artur Sumbar from Polish Szczecin entered the Young European Truck Driver competition just for fun. He out-conquered his competitors in the Polish national final thus securing his place in the European final in Sweden on 8-9 October.

Sumbar, aged 30, has worked as an international driver for nine years. For the moment he drives only locally. His dream is a Scania R 500 with a V8 engine.

Sumbar entered the competition “just for fun”. Nevertheless he beat drivers with more experience from YETD, for example Rafał Rogalski, 31. Rogalski participated in the YETD for the third time. He has made it twice to the European final! Quite a track record.

The final was held at the new Scania Service premises in Gliwice, the largest Scania workshop in Poland which was officially opened this weekend.

It wasn’t only the drivers who could compete. The approximately 400 visitors were invited to drive a slalom track using a Segway.
