First quarter production rates in Europe have been adjusted to reflect lower demand, which is a consequence of customers having pre-bought trucks ahead of a more stringent emission regulation that came into force 1 January 2014. January deliveries in North America increased 209% to 2,433 vehicles in comparison with the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to two down-weeks in January 2013.
