Schedule 13D, originally filed on May 12, 1999 (the "Schedule 13D") with
respect to the purchase of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock, SEK 10
nominal value per share (the "Common Shares"), of Scania Aktiebolaget, a
limited liability company incorporated in Sweden (the "Issuer"). Unless
otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall
have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

     This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D is filed in accordance with Rule
13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by Investor. It
shall refer only to the information that has materially changed since the

   Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended by replacing in its entirety the

Volvo will acquire all of Investor's shares in the Issuer.

     The agreement between Volvo and Investor involves Investor receiving
payment either solely in cash or in a combination of cash and newly issued
Volvo shares for Investor's holdings in the Issuer. Investor will receive a
cash payment of SEK 315 per share for 60% of its holdings. For the remaining
40%, Investor will receive, at its discretion, either SEK 315 in cash per
share or newly issued shares in Volvo in the proportion of six Volvo shares
for each multiple of five shares of the Issuer.

     Volvo's acquisition of Investor's shares in the Issuer is conditional
upon receiving required approvals from the authorities."
