Volvo truck sales - October of 2009

Truck deliveries

Quickly: the Volvo+Renault+Mack business sold 7478 heavy duty truck (2244 light and medium duty).It is lower by 50% than the same month of 2008.
The Mack numbers are affected by the new ,2010 emission standards (everyone who have spare money want to buy truck now,because the 2011 models are more expensives)
So,without the Mack the drop is 53%,compared to the October of 2008.

The Eastern Europe market is still in paralyis, the volume roughtly 75% lower than in 2008.


Generaly,the report show improvement compared of the second-third quoter of 2009,but by my rought calculations the market still need 6-9 month to run out the excess stock of truck on the hands of the final customers.
