.scania
Is .scania a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.scania is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Scania CV Aktiebolag.
A single-company brand namespace: useful to its owner for trusted links, but not something anyone else can buy or trade.
the applying company and its dealer, service and product networks, using the string for authenticated brand-owned addresses rather than for public sale
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
The same bet: a Swedish heavy-vehicle manufacturer putting its single corporate marque on a closed namespace serving dealers, fleet buyers and parts channels rather than a public audience.
A commercial-truck brand owned inside a larger industrial group claiming its own coined marque — identical B2B dealer-and-fleet identity play, just on a different continent.
Same bet from the same corner of the industry — a heavy-truck maker's house marque for its dealer network — but the string doubles as a common English word, so the application also carries a generic-collision problem .scania does not have.
What a .scania domain is
.scania is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Brand. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .scania domain extension real yet?
.scania is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. It is a string applicants have put forward in the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, the process that decides whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .scania domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .scania name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .scania was .volvo, delegated on 24 October 2016.
Is .scania a real TLD?
Not yet. .scania is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .scania is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow). The verified-facts block records one application, by Scania CV Aktiebolag, with ICANN application type "brand", and no contention; registration volume, pricing and any launch details are unknown. A brand-type TLD is, by analogy to the brand strings delegated after the 2012 round, a closed namespace with a single eligible registrant, so there is no open market and no aftermarket for addresses on it; its value is the operator's own use of memorable, trust-signalling addresses (dealer portals, service and fleet tools, campaign links). That is narrow by construction, which keeps it out of the 30-49 band: there are no volume- or price-driven registrations because nobody outside the brand can register. It sits above the 1-9 band because, by analogy, some automotive and corporate brand TLDs from the earlier round have been put to genuine primary-identity use for owned properties, and a commercial-vehicle maker with a global dealer and fleet-customer base has plausible internal use cases over the next 5 years. Main market uncertainty: whether the operator actually migrates customer-facing identity onto the string or keeps it as a defensive, lightly used asset, which within this band is the difference between the low teens and the mid-twenties.
