Changed outlook for the full year 2000

12/13/2000 10:01 AM EST

The Group's result for October-November has been affected by increased
costs related to the development and introduction of new products in the
Brake Systems division, as well as by lower business volumes for the Group
in North America.

Therefore, the 4th quarter's result is expected to be substantially
weaker, and the full year result and profit margin are estimated to be
lower than previous year.

During 2001, the production of both heavy and light vehicles are expected
to decline compared to the current year. As regards heavy vehicles, the
decline is estimated to be especially sharp in North America, but also
Europe is expected to show a reduced production rate.

In addition to the weaker market situation in 2001, the result for the
beginning of the year will continue to be affected by high costs for
development and introduction of new products. Actions to adjust the
organization and cost levels have been initiated and will successively
gain effect.
