kscarbel2 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Exactly. Volkswagen AG has never expressed any interest in Paccar. However the company continues to consider Navistar from a distance.If you say it's been reported, where is the link to the news report?

TeamsterGrrrl Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 If DAF was included in the sale, the EU would probably block the purchase for antitrust reasons. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35970-vw-and-paccar/#findComment-248152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 It's been in Today's Trucking and Truck News the last couple weeks. VW says they want to become the largest in the world. Also says the Navistar deal isn't off the table yet either.

41chevy Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 wow didnt know they were so big...bobVolkswagen Group is the 3rd largest vehicle maker in the world and owns Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, Škoda and Volkswagen marques; motorcycles under the Ducati brand; and commercial vehicles under the MAN, Scania, Neoplan Buses and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles marques. The company operates 100 production facilities across 27 countries. It holds a 19.9% non-controlling shareholding in Suzuki and has two major joint-ventures in China FAW-Volkswagen and Shanghai Volkswagen. BIG!

Also says the Navistar deal isn't off the table yet either.Also says Navistar is still working with MAN and Scania....and guess who owns them? LOL.Odd, I'm not seeing any news links on your posts.Navistar has never worked with Scania. The former Mack Trucks is the only U.S. truckmaker that Scania ever cooperated with.MAN and Navistar are not actively cooperating (as, for example, in a joint venture). Navistar merely purchased a license agreement to produce the MAN D20 and D26 engines in their own U.S. facility. And since Navistar has made moves to break the terms of the license agreement and export these license-built engines abroad (into MAN's global markets), not to mention ignoring MAN's advice on EGR's limitations, the German truck and engine manufacturer is quite frustrated with Navistar and almost wishes they'd never given Navistar a license.Searching for "Volkswagen" on Today's Trucking and Truck News, I note there isn't any news on the German company within the last couple weeks. The only news, that Navistar was considering making a move two years ago in 2012 to purchase Navistar, is old news.http://www.todaystru...data=Volkswagenhttp://www.trucknews.com/?s=Volkswagen Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35970-vw-and-paccar/#findComment-248403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
