Global heavy truck production fell 1% due entirely to an anticipated
steep drop in North America. Production volumes in North America
declined 44% in 2007 following implementation of new emissions
regulations. In Europe, heavy truck builds increased for a fourth
consecutive year at an annual rate of 8.5%. In Asia, 2007 heavy
truck production was up 17% driven by strong economic growth in
the region.
