Volvo Trucks: Truck Deliveries in October 2013

www.chinatrucks.com: 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.
