Mack
Deliveries through August totaled 11,541, down 54% compared with the year-earlier period. As a result of the pre-buy in 2006, pre-US’07 trucks remaining in dealer inventories, weakness in the freight environment, and the downturn in the housing construction market, demand for heavy-duty trucks in North America continues to be low.
Mack deliveries also remain impacted by production disruptions associated with the transition to US’07 products and internal industrial optimization.
