Deliveries in North America increased by 14% in January thanks to a continuously high demand due to fleet renewal and a good economic development in general while deliveries in Europe were at the same level as in January 2014. Deliveries declined by 66% in South America, primarily due to lower deliveries in Brazil. In Asia truck deliveries increased by 3%.
