Deliveries from Mack through May totaled 16,054 units, up 11% from the same period a year ago. The deliveries figures continue to reflect the strong order environment from late 2005 through the first quarter 2006. Order intake in May continued to slow down from historical high levels, as production slots for pre-EPA ’07-compliant truck models became filled for the rest of 2006.


Renault Trucks deliveries through May totalled 33,811 trucks, a rise of 7% compared with the year-earlier period. Deliveries in Europe rose by 13% with deliveries in France up 9%. In Germany, the deliveries increased 12% and in Spain they rose 16%. The two ranges that reached the best increases were the Renault Mascott (7%) and Renault Premium (11%).
