Volvo
In October 12,124 Volvo trucks were delivered, an increase of 21% compared with
the same month last year.
In Europe 5,552 vehicles were delivered during October, up by 28% compared with
October 2012. An extensive product renewal is under way with five new truck
models; Volvo FH, Volvo FM, Volvo FMX, Volvo FE and Volvo FL.
First quarter production rates in Europe will be adjusted to reflect lower
demand, which is a consequence of customers having pre-bought trucks ahead of a
more stringent emission regulation coming into force 1 January 2014.
October deliveries in North America increased 34% to 2,880 vehicles in
comparison with the same period last year.
October deliveries in South America increased 7% to 1,921 trucks compared with
October 2012.

Renault Trucks
In October 4,797 trucks were delivered by Renault Trucks which was a decrease by
12% compared to a year ago. In Eastern Europe, deliveries were down by 30%
In June, Renault Trucks launched a completely new truck program, with four
different truck series; the T-series for long haulage, the C-series for
construction, the K-series for heavy construction and the D-series for
distribution.
Renault Trucks’ new ranges have had a positive reception from both customers and
dealers. However, production of the new trucks has just started and
demonstration trucks are currently being delivered to customers, who will test
their performance over a period of time before placing further orders.
Consequently, overall order intake for Renault is currently low as no more
orders are taken for Europe on the old generation and order intake is yet to
pick-up on the new generation of trucks. Production rates for the first quarter
will be adjusted to reflect lower demand.
