Mack
Deliveries through April totaled 5,823, down 54% compared with the year-earlier period. As expected, demand continues to be significantly lower compared with the very high level a year ago. The pre-buy that took place in advance of the new emissions regulations has saturated the market with pre-US’07 products. Mack’s deliveries also reflect production-related disturbances experienced by the Group’s North American truck operations in transitioning to US’07 products.

Renault Trucks
Deliveries through April totalled 24,290 trucks, down 10% compared with the year-earlier period. This takes into account the non availability of the Renault Mascott Euro 4 which is due for deliveries at mid year. Deliveries of the Masccott during the year-earlier period amounted to almost 4,700 vehicles.

Volvo Trucks
Volvo Trucks’ deliveries during the period January-April amounted to 30,423 vehicles, down 8% compared with the year-earlier period. The decrease in deliveries is fully attributable to North America where the new emission legislation continues to be visible in the delivery statistics. All other regions are showing higher deliveries. Europe (+16%), and especially Eastern Europe (+67%), continues to show strong delivery figures. Deliveries in South America (+32%) are also strong.
