Volvo Trucks' deliveries up to November increased on all market areas
excluding North America. The delivery increase was influenced by a larger
number of working days in November in Europe compared with 1999 and an
increased capacity in Volvo Trucks' industrial system in Europe.
The delivery decrease in North America could not be fully compensated by
the increase on the other markets, first of all Europe, and in total the
deliveries from Volvo Trucks decreased by 3% up to November.
The order intake decreased by 5%, primarily because of the downturn in
North America.
