Mack
Deliveries from Mack through February totalled 3,145 units, down 47% from the corresponding period a year ago. As expected, deliveries are significantly lower than they were at this time a year ago due to the effects from the pre-buy ahead of the new US07 emissions regulations.

Renault Trucks
Deliveries through February totalled 10,111 trucks, down 17% compared with the year-earlier period. This decline is attributable mainly to the lack of deliveries of the new Renault Mascott model, which is due out at mid-year.

Volvo Trucks
Volvo Trucks’ deliveries during the period January-February amounted to 15,019 vehicles, up 5% compared with the year-earlier period. Primarily, strong delivery figures from Europe contributed to the increase. Notably, deliveries in Eastern Europe more than doubled compared with the first two months of 2006.
The expected effects of implementing new, more stringent emissions requirements in North America are now visible in delivery statistics. North American deliveries fell 31% to 3,661 vehicles.
