German truck and bus builder MAN boosted its sales by 16% during the first quarter of 1989 says sales director Dr Gunther Dietz. By the end of April MAN had delivered 2,639 jointproduction vehicles between 6 and 11.5 tonnes GVW and 6,104 trucks at 11.6 tonnes and above.
The highest sales increase was enjoyed by the recently launched G90 range, which rose by 41%, but MAN sales also increased by almost 9% in the heavy truck sector.
MAN has introduced doubleshift working at its Munich factory; its Salzgitter and Vienna plants will follow suit in the au tumn. move will help us exceed the 30,000 margin this year", says Dietz. Speaking at the Barcelona Show, he predicted a steady development in the overall European truck and bus market.
Despite pessimistic forecasts from industry observers, Dietz maintains that (apart from Scandinavia) demand for MAN trucks in Europe "has turned out to be as lively as ever". At the moment F90s account for 80% of MAN's heavy truck sales. fl MAN Volkswagen has won its first order for trucks and vans for Royal Mail Parcels. The £420,000 deal involves 30 Volkswagen LT50 turbo-diesel parcels vans and three MAN F90.292 tractors.
