Volkswagen AG's (VOW.XE) truck-and-bus unit Traton said Thursday
that sales rose significantly over the first nine months of the
year, but tapered off in the third quarter.
Between January and September, deliveries rose 15% to 166,330
vehicles of its MAN Truck & Bus, Scania and Volkswagen
Caminhoes e Onibus brands, Traton said.
"However, the very strong sales performance of the first half of
the year tapered off slightly in the third quarter," said Traton
Chief Executive Andreas Renschler.
Traton, which is preparing for a potential listing as early as
next year, didn't break out figures for the third quarter.
