Mack
Deliveries through May totaled 7,179, down 55% compared with the year-earlier period. The slowdown is attributable to the expected temporary decline driven by new emission regulations which became effective on January 1, 2007.

Renault Trucks
Deliveries through May totalled 30,657 trucks, down 9% compared with the year-earlier period. This still takes into account the non availability of the Renault Mascott Euro 4 which is due for deliveries at mid year. This represents a loss of 5,500 units. Nevertheless the new model, Renault Maxity, complementing the delivery range shows satisfactory development of almost 2,400 units sold after being put on the market in March.

Volvo Trucks

The South American market for heavy trucks is displaying an ascending trend and deliveries rose 30%. Asia, including the Middle East, also showed strong demand and truck deliveries there rose by 14%.
