[maniacmark]

damn, why don't they sell these trucks here in Europe
The looks are good, and the enginering seems te be perfect too
So what is stopped these things to be shipped?

[Tjaap]

VW's partial ownership of Scania and MAN, although Phaeton told me that they would come on sale in eastern europe

[maniacmark]

The partial ownership in MAN was known to me, but that they also have stocks in Scania is new to me. I thught Scania was partial SAAB and because SAAB ainý VAG I didn't thought of it.
But it explains al lot.....

[Tjaap]

23% actually... quite big..

[phaeton]

VWAG has Shares in following Truck Companies

29.9% in MAN AG & 20.3% share & 35.31% voting rights in Scania.

maniacmark - when your thinking of SAAB owning Scania your actually sort of correct.
AB Investor's are still the 2nd biggest shareholders in Scania they use to own a majority share in both companies ;)
