Volkswagen AG's (VOW.XE) truck and bus unit will be renamed
Traton Group to become more independent from its parent company and
get ready for a potential listing, the unit said Wednesday.
The MAN, Scania, Volkswagen Caminhoes e Onibus and RIO brands
will retain their identities under the new umbrella brand,
Volkswagen Truck & Bus said.
The official name change is expected to come into effect by the
third quarter, it said.
