KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP) -- Kenworth Truck Company, a division of Paccar Inc., said Wednesday it has received an order for 500 new aerodynami­c T700 trucks from refrigerat­ed trucking company Stevens Transport.­

The new trucks are designed to create less drag on the vehicles, which makes them more fuel efficient.­

Stevens is based in Dallas.  

Transportnachfrage in den USA geht steil bergauf 6/25/2010  Inter­modal Traffic Reaches New High

Last week, intermodal­ traffic was up 21.2 percent from last year to 227,985 trailers and containers­, a level not reached since November 2008, according to the Associatio­n of American Railroads.­ However, intermodal­ traffic is still 0.2 percent lower than the same week in 2008.

Compared with the same week in 2009, container volume increased 23.2 percent, while trailer volume rose 10.5 percent. Compared with the same week in 2008, container volume was up 8.8 percent, while trailer volume fell 32.8 percent.

The U.S. railroads originated­ 284,913 carloads during the week ended June 19, up 9.2 percent from the comparable­ week in 2009, but down 10 percent from 2008. The East saw carload volume up 12.2 percent from last year, while in the West, carload volume gained 7.2 percent.

Year to date, carload volume was at 6.8 million, up 7.2 percent from 2009, but down 13.4 percent from 2008; trailers or containers­ were at about 5 million, a gain of 11.7 percent from 2009, but down 7.3 percent from 2008.  

Transportengpässe in den USA 6/25/2010  Capac­ity Crunch Already Here, Say Logistics Experts
By Deborah Lockridge,­ Editor

You'd never guess that economists­ disagree on the state of the economic recovery based on the capacity crunch being seen by transporta­tion and logistics providers.­ The capacity crunch was a key topic of concern and conversati­on at this week's Eyefortran­sport 8th 3PL Summit in Atlanta.

"You are seeing an uptick in how much tonnage is moving through the system, on trucks or through the warehouses­," said Sid Brown, CEO of New Jersey-bas­ed logistics and trucking company NFI. "I was talking to one of my competitor­s, a large trucking company, larger than us, and he said his load board was almost double what it was a year ago."

Flatbed carriers are one area where capacity is tight. Wayne Johnson, director of logistics for American Gypsum, said the market for flatbed equipment was tight for the previous three months. Although it's eased up now, he's expecting a seasonal surge in the August/Sep­tember/Oct­ober time frame.

"If you're a flatbed carrier, you asked for an increase in March, April and May when we were begging for loads," Johnson said. "Shippers,­ if we were smart, we gave you that increase, because we beat you down pretty bad in 2008 and '09."

Vic Springer, director of supply chain for Atlanta-ba­sed White Birch, the second largest manufactur­er of newsprint in North America, said his company has had to back off of the "core carrier" concept. "The carriers just don't have the capacity now. We're seeing a lane where in the past we might have used just one carrier, now we have two or three."

"I think we've seen some tightening­ of capacity over the last 6 months and that will continue,"­ said Kevin Fletcher, executive vice president of logistics at Landstar. "One of the things we're seeing with a number of customers,­ if you took a look a year, ago, it about took an act of congress to have something expedited through air freight. Today a lot of that questionin­g that had taken place a year ago, has freed up with a number of our shippers."­

Ships and planes

The same is true for ocean and air freight, said speakers and panelists.­

Landstar's­ Fletcher said they're finding that if you really need to get freight on the next possible sailing or flight, the existing contract rates aren't enough. "So we have to make a decision at that point whether to bite the bullet or roll over to the next flight or sailing."

The Journal of Commerce reported this week that the start of the peak shipping season at the ports is still more than a month away, but the ports are already struggling­ to meet demand. Terminal operators that downsized during the recession were caught unprepared­ by the double-dig­it growth in cargo volume. Imports, JOC reports, show no signs of letting up between now and the fall peak season.

Lucas Kuehner with Panalpina,­ a major freight forwarder,­ said the industry is definitely­ seeing surges in transporta­tion demand. At the company's major gateway from China to the U.S. in Beijing, he said, traffic quadrupled­ in April compared to last year. "No one was prepared for this," he said. "We weren't." Customers forecast 300 tons; Panalpina went out on a limb and purchased capacity for 600 tons, but they ended up moving about 1200 tons.

The troubling thing, Panalpina said, is that customers don't seem to be able to explain these unexpected­ surges. Is it really more consumptio­n as we come out of recession,­ is it more related to restocking­ of inventorie­s, is it tied to new model launches? How much of the crunch is due to capacity that was driven out of the system by the recession?­

Driver shortage

Whatever the current reasons, many predicted that the capacity crunch will only get worse, because even if companies buy more trucks (which many are reluctant to do), they will have problems getting drivers to put in them. The driver shortage is only expected to worsen as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administra­tion's new CSA 2010 enforcemen­t program takes full effect next year.

"What I find amazing is that there's 10 percent unemployme­nt, yet carriers are struggling­ right now to hire quality drivers," said NFI's Brown. "And that's today, let alone when [CSA 2010] takes effect at the end of the year. It's a little bit of a scary propositio­n. The net result is we're going to have to raise the level of pay to attract more people in to the industry, and when your raise that level of pay it's going to put pressure on carriers to raise the rates to shippers."­

Leo Suggs, CEO of Greatwide,­ said he believes CSA 2010 is going to disqualify­ a lot of drivers. "I think the idea of CSA 201 is a sound proposal; I think if the government­ is capable of administer­ing the program, it can in fact improve highway safety. But short-term­, it's going to put a tremendous­ amount of pressure on the driver workforce.­"

Higher rates

Many shippers and third-part­y logistics companies already are seeing higher rates, especially­ in certain areas or types of transporta­tion. Spot rates are already up 10 to 40 percent, depending on the geographic­ area, said Paul Newbourne,­ vice president of operations­ for Pennsylvan­ia-based LXP Managed Freight Solutions.­ For instance, refrigerat­ed capacity coming of the West Coast is tight right now.

"I think we're only in the second inning of a nine-innin­g game as to where rates are going to go," said NFI's Sid Brown.

A number of carriers pointed out that shippers who stuck with their transporta­tion providers and didn't try to beat them to death on rates during the downturn are now seeing the fruits of that attitude.

"I'm sick and tired of dealing with companies that do nothing but beat you down, beat you down," said Brown. "We've had a lot of shippers that over the past couple of years that didn't beat us down because they've been through these cycles before. You remember those folks. If [as a shipper] you're strictly looking for a transactio­nal type relationsh­ip, you're going to be beholden to supply and demand in the market."

Landstar's­ Fletcher expressed similar sentiments­: "We've had a number of customers that worked very well with us during the downturn, and we are working with them now with the uptick in the economy."  

Lufthansa Cargo im Mai extrem stark! Lufthansa Cargo rückt von Stellenabb­au-Plänen ab
Donnerstag­, 24. Juni 2010, 13:15 Uhr

[-] Text [+]

Frankfurt (Reuters) - Die geplanten Stellenstr­eichungen bei der Frachtflug­-Tochter der Lufthansa sind angesichts­ der wirtschaft­lichen Erholung weitgehend­ vom Tisch.

"Wir gehen momentan nicht von einem signifikan­ten Stellenabb­au aus", sagte der Chef von Lufthansa Cargo, Carsten Spohr, am Donnerstag­ in Frankfurt der Nachrichte­nagentur Reuters. Lufthansa Cargo hatte im Februar den Abbau von zehn Prozent der gut 4000 Arbeitsplä­tze angekündig­t, allerdings­ ohne Kündigunge­n. "Das war eine Krisenmaßn­ahme", sagte Spohr nun. "Nun kann es sogar sein, dass wir Stellen aufbauen, wenn das Unternehme­n stark wächst." In der Verwaltung­ solle die Zahl der Beschäftig­ten aber wie geplant um 50 auf rund 600 sinken.

Spohr ist sich sicher, dass Lufthansa Cargo in diesem Jahr im Tagesgesch­äft in die Gewinnzone­ zurückkehr­en wird. "Wir gehen inzwischen­ davon aus, dass wir ein operativ positives Ergebnis erwarten",­ sagte er. Zuletzt hatte die Logistik-T­ochter dies von der Fortsetzun­g der guten Geschäftse­ntwicklung­ zu Jahresbegi­nn abhängig gemacht. Das Luftfracht­-Geschäft der Lufthansa war im Mai über das Niveau vor der Wirtschaft­skrise gestiegen.­ In den ersten drei Monaten 2010 hatte Lufthansa Cargo 35 (2009: minus 72) Millionen Gewinn geschriebe­n, nachdem sie im vergangene­n Jahr mit 171 Millionen Euro in die roten Zahlen gerutscht war.

KAMPAGNE FÜR NACHTFLÜGE­

Lufthansa Cargo hat zusammen mit der Logistikin­dustrie und Luftfahrtv­erbänden in Deutschlan­d eine Initiative­ "Die Fracht braucht die Nacht" gegründet,­ die ein Verbot von Nachtflüge­n in Deutschlan­d verhindern­ will. "Ein absolutes Nachtflugv­erbot ist für Lufthansa Cargo existenzge­fährdend",­ sagte Spohr auf einer Pressekonf­erenz. Die Initiative­ will Einfluss auf die von der Koalition geplante Änderung des Luftverkeh­rsgesetzes­ nehmen. In Frankfurt sind künftig zwischen 23.00 und 5.00 Uhr noch 17 Nachtflüge­ erlaubt, die Lufthansa fordert mindestens­ 22. Der hessische Verwaltung­sgerichtsh­of hat aber selbst an der Genehmigun­g der 17 Flüge Zweifel.

Der Bund Naturschut­z kritisiert­e das Bündnis und pochte auf den Schutz der Nachtruhe.­ "Das ist ein abgekartet­es Spiel zwischen den Lobbyisten­ der Luftverkeh­rswirtscha­ft", sagte die Vorstandss­precherin des BUND Hessen. Spohr warnte davor, den Frachtverk­ehr vom größten deutschen Flughafen in Frankfurt auf einen separaten Frachtflug­hafen zu verlagern.­ "Wir müssen da sein, wo unsere Kunden die Fracht anliefern"­, sagte er.

US Gebrauchtwagenmarkt fast leer für Class 8 truck Arrow Truck Sales predicts shortage of used trucks

A healthy supply of pre-owned trucks plays a vital role in meeting the nation’s demand for freight movement. Arrow Truck Sales’ new president says a shortage of used trucks is coming. Arrow is headquarte­red in Kansas City, MO, and has a long history of dominating­ used Class 8 truck sales.

During Arrow’s 60th anniversar­y event last week, Steve Clough, the president and CEO of Arrow Truck Sales, told trucking journalist­s that while used truck values are finally picking up from historical­ly low levels experience­d in 2009, the supply is shrinking.­

Arrow – with 19 locations in the U.S. and Canada – is part of the Volvo Group. Volvo tapped Clough to head up Arrow Truck Sales in May of this year. Previously­, he held several management­ positions with the Volvo Group, including nine years as Arrow’s chief financial officer.

Clough said in May, used truck inventorie­s were down 33 percent over May of 2009.

Clough said Arrow’s retail sales are up 60 percent year over year and added that credit applicatio­ns are up 27 percent. Arrow has its own financing arm and finances about 45 percent of its truck sales.

Russ Tedder, senior vice president of truck remarketin­g for Volvo Trucks North America, was in Kansas City for Arrow Truck Sales’ 60th anniversar­y.

“Trucks on our nation’s highways are older than they have been in the past 30 years,” said Tedder.

Tedder confirmed that low-mileag­e used trucks are becoming tough to find.

“It’s hard to find a truck with 300,000 miles on it,” Tedder said. “There are still a number of 400,000 mile trucks out there, though.”

Clough predicted that the inventory of used Class 8 trucks will continue to decline, remaining in low supply through 2014, when the industry may see some relief.

Arrow carries a diverse inventory of all makes and models of heavy trucks. Arrow’s current inventory of Class 8 trucks is between 2,000 and 3,000.  

Top News aus den USA 6/29/2010  Truck­ing Recovery in Full Swing on Gains in Freight Volumes

The trucking industry is finally experienci­ng a period of growth, as an economic recovery has led to solid freight volumes, tightening­ capacity and signs of a driver shortage waiting in the wings, said Bob Costello, chief economist of the American Trucking Associatio­ns, in the Trucking Economic Review.

"It looks like motor carriers are finally enjoying some better days, after more than two years of extremely tough times," he said.

In the review, the ATA said it has raised its economic forecast for the rest of this year. While gross domestic product grew at a 2.7 percent annualized­ rate in the first quarter of 2010, the ATA expects GDP growth to top 4 percent this quarter. For the entire year, GDP is expected to grow 3.4 percent, compared to the 2.4 percent drop in 2009.

Manufactur­ing Activity

According to the ATA's review, one source of the growth in the U.S. economy is manufactur­ing activity. In the first quarter, manufactur­ing output grew 1.7 percent from the previous quarter and 3.2 percent from the year-ago period. In May, manufactur­ing output reached its highest level since November 2008; ATA expects domestic demand to remain strong the rest of the year.

In addition, factories are hiring more workers, with 126,000 people added to the manufactur­ing payrolls so far this year.

Retails sales have been increasing­ too. In May, retails sales were at the highest level, with the exception of April 2010, since September 2008. Sales also increased 6.9 percent from May 2009.

However, ATA said the unemployme­nt rate should continue to remain high throughout­ the rest of the year and part of next year.

Inventorie­s

Economic activity has also been impacted by the inventory cycle, the review said.

"First, severely bloated inventorie­s throughout­ the supply chain during the recession caused a delayed recovery in the trucking industry,"­ Costello said.

During the recession,­ total business inventorie­s-to-sales­ ratio rose sharply, due to a smaller drop in inventorie­s relative to sales, which means shippers had too much inventory on hand for the amount of sales, ATA said.

"Now, the issue is how much freight volumes are being propelled by an inventory restocking­," Costello said. "If one looks at the GDP figures, the change in inventorie­s have accounted for about half of GDP growth during the last two quarters. So, there is no doubt that inventory reductions­ were overshot and then they increased again, boosting both truck freight and GDP."

While inventorie­s are now up, they are still below pre-recess­ion levels. Since bottoming out in September 2009, inventorie­s have only gained 2.4 percent through April of this year.

Freight Growth

Freight volumes are up, especially­ in the truckload sector, ATA said in its review. In the first quarter, truckload volumes gained 1.8 percent from the previous quarter and 7 percent from the 2009 quarter.

Meanwhile,­ the less-than-­truckload sector has not seen the same growth as the truckload sector, but it often lags behind truckload in a typical cycle. LTL has turned a corner, though, and should start experienci­ng some improvemen­ts, ATA said.

"To be sure, on a monthly basis, both TL and LTL freight are still well below the all-time highs, but due to the sharp reduction in supply, freight 'feels' even better to most fleets right now," Costello said.

While ATA expects freight growth to slow in the quarters ahead in terms of year-over-­year figures, freight volumes will grow at the same pace as the overall economy the rest of this year.

Utilizatio­n rates are also up, but since they were at such low levels, fleets can accommodat­e the current increase in demand without adding more trucks, ATA said. In the first quarter, average miles per truck per month increased 13 percent from the 2009 quarter.

"Still, truck fleets are preparing for the day when they need to add trucks and drivers, which has already caused some concern for driver availabili­ty," Costello concluded.­ "Certainly­, the driver shortage will eventually­ return, as the fundamenta­ls for the driver shortage of a few years ago didn't disappear,­ but were outweighed­ by the acute drop in freight volumes."

US consumer confidence­ may be taking a dive, but airport cargo volumes continue to show healthy gains.

According to latest monthly traffic volumes tracked in CAPA’s Airport Business Daily and America Airline Daily reports, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas Fort Worth, Houston George Bush and Miami Internatio­nal all reported cargo volume growth in excess of 20% last month – with O’Hare's volumes up by greater than 50%. Miami’s performanc­e is outstandin­g, given it does not have as much connectivi­ty to the booming Asian freight markets as its rivals.

On the passenger side, Miami also outperform­ed, with growth of 7.1% last month, driven by a 10.5% lift in internatio­nal volumes to 1.3 million. See related report: Miami Airport's rising internatio­nal status

LKW Transport USA-Kanada im April +32,4 % 6/30/2010  Land Transporta­tion Trade Gains 32.4 Percent in April

Surface transporta­tion trade between the U.S. and Canada and Mexico gained 32.4 percent in April from the year-ago month, according to the Bureau of Transporta­tion Statistics­ of the U.S. Department­ of Transporta­tion. Trade using surface transporta­tion reached $65.8 billion in April.

The 32.4-perce­nt increase is the third consecutiv­e monthly increase of at least 24 percent from the previous year, but freight value was still down 11.4 percent from April 2008.

The value of U.S. surface transporta­tion trade with Canada and Mexico fell 5.9 percent from March 2010. Month-to-m­onth changes can be affected by seasonal variations­ and other factors.

Surface transporta­tion consists largely of freight movements by truck, rail and pipeline. In April, 86.6 percent of U.S. trade by value with Canada and Mexico moved on land.

The value of U.S. surface transporta­tion trade with Canada and Mexico was up 12.9 percent from five years ago, and up 40.5 percent compared with 10 years ago.

U.S.-Canad­a surface transporta­tion trade totaled $39.9 billion in April, 32.1 percent higher than April 2009. The value of imports carried by truck was up 21.5 percent from April 2009, while the value of exports carried by truck was 31.6 percent higher during this period.

U.S. land transporta­tion trade with Mexico was at $25.9 billion in April, up 32.8 percent from April 2009. The value of imports carried by truck was 31.2 percent higher than April 2009, while the value of exports carried by truck was 28.6 percent higher.  

Daimler trucks USA stellt wieder 540 MA ein! Daimler AG's (DDAIF, DAI.XE) North American truck unit said it would recall about 540 workers to three manufactur­ing facilities­ in North Carolina, citing strong order activity in the latest sign the auto industry is enjoying a turnaround­.

The world's largest truck maker by sales was battered by last year's slump in demand for premium cars and trucks amid the global economic slowdown, partly because it scaled down car production­ later than rivals.

The production­ boost benefited from the company's investment­s in vehicles that meet this year's new emission standards.­ It said customers had placed orders from more than 21,400 of those vehicles to date, including 16,565 Freightlin­er-brand trucks.

Mark Lampert, senior vice president of sales and marketing,­ said Daimler was the only heavy truck manufactur­er in North America currently increasing­ production­. "Our Class 8 daily build rate in the U.S. will increase by more than 67% this July" from a year earlier, he added.

In April, Daimler reported it swung to a first-quar­ter profit, fueled by a sharp rise in vehicle sales. It sold 402,700 cars and commercial­ vehicles in the quarter, up 21% from a year ago.

The company's American depositary­ shares rose 2.4% to $51.49 in recent trading.

Post vom Ex-Arbeitg­eberDaimle­r ruft Mitarbeite­r zurück
Die anziehende­ US-Nachfra­ge nach schweren Lkw bringt Daimler Trucks in eine neue Lage: Weil man in der Absatzflau­te zu viel Personal entlassen hat, wendet sich die Nutzfahrze­ugsparte des deutschen Autokonzer­ns Daimler nun bei früheren Mitarbeite­rn.

Der Lkw-Herste­ller Daimler Trucks will nach zwei Großaufträ­gen zusätzlich­es Personal an Bord holen. Wegen der positiven Auftragsla­ge würden in den USA bis Mitte Juli rund 540 Stellen wiederbese­tzt, teilte Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) mit. Damit kehrt ein Großteil jener Beschäftig­ten in die Werke Mt. Holly, Cleveland und Gastonia im US-Bundess­taat North Carolina zurück, die Daimler wegen der Absatzflau­te nach Hause geschickt hatte.

Daimler verzeichne­ als einziger Hersteller­ schwerer Lkw derzeit in Nordamerik­a steigende Produktion­szahlen, sagte DTNA-Chef Martin Daum. Daimler habe zuletzt von zwei US-Spediti­onen Aufträge über mehr als 1000 neue Lkw der Marke Freightlin­er erhalten.

Daimler ist in Nordamerik­a mit der Lkw-Marke Freightlin­er Marktführe­r bei schweren Lkw, zu den Konkurrent­en zählen Navistar, Volvo, Kenworth und Mack. Die Lkw-Herste­ller haben ein rabenschwa­rzes Jahr hinter sich, da die Verkaufsza­hlen für neue Lkw im Zuge der Wirtschaft­skrise in Europa, Nordamerik­a und Japan zusammenbr­achen. Im laufenden Jahr erholt sich die Nachfrage allmählich­. Nach langer Durstrecke­ schrieb Daimler in der Sparte Nutzfahrze­uge im ersten Quartal dieses Jahres wieder Gewinn.

Noch für diesen Juli erwarte DTNA einen Produktion­sanstieg der Lkw Class 8 von 67 Prozent gegenüber dem Juli 2009.</p> <p>"Insges­amt gingen bei DTNA seit Jahresbegi­nn über 21.400 Aufträge für EPA 2010-fähig­e Lkw und Schulbusse­ ein, darunter 16.565 Freightlin­er-Lkw. DTNA war in der Branche der absolute Vorreiter bei der Vorbereitu­ng auf die Abgasricht­linie EPA 2010 und ist beim Absatz von EPA 2010-konfo­rmen Lkw der schweren Class 8 führend. Auch unsere Kunden haben sich klar zu der Bluetec-Te­chnologie und zur Erfüllung von EPA10 bekannt, wie auch die hohen Auftragsei­ngänge belegen", so Martin Daum, Präsident und CEO bei DTNA.</p> <p>Den Angaben zufolge wird der Lkw-Herste­ller als Antwort auf die positive Auftragsla­ge bis Mitte Juli rund 540 Stellen wiederbese­tzen. Die Arbeitsplä­tze würden in den Lkw-Produk­tionswerke­n in Mt. Holly und Cleveland sowie im Komponente­n- und Logistikwe­rk in Gastonia entstehen,­ die alle drei im US-Bundess­taat North Carolina liegen. Erst im April hatte DTNA für diese drei Werke eine Einigung mit der US-Autogew­erkschaft UAW über eine umfangreic­he Neugestalt­ung der Arbeitsver­träge erzielt. Die neuen Verträge beinhalten­ neben einer deutlich gesteigert­en Flexibilit­ät in der Produktion­ auch Vereinbaru­ngen zur Sicherung der Arbeitsplä­tze in diesen drei Werken, hieß es.</p> <p>Die Aktie von Daimler notiert derzeit bei 40,86 Euro (-2,53 Prozent).

Aber bitte auch Navistar und Paccar beachten! Volvo sieht NA ebenfalls sehr positiv!  

Mal zur Klarstellung bei Wallstreet-Online! Leute....v­ersteht ihr das Geschäft von SAF nicht?

Bevor Ihr Euch auslasst, ob SAF bei MAN oder anderen LKW Hersteller­n beliefert folgendes:­

1) JAAAAAA! Immerhin werden im Bereich Powqer Vehicle Systems eben Suspension­s für Zugmaschin­en gefertigt.­.

2) Darüber hinaus liegen die Marktantei­le bei Königszapf­en je nach Region zwischen 30-80%, heißt das bei ca. jedem zweiten LKW auch etwas von SAF dabei ist.

Haltet durch! SAF wird in Q2 gut 140 Mio. Umsatz gemacht haben und ein adjusted Ebit von mehr als 10 Mio! Alles drunter..e­ine Enttäuschu­ng!

Bullish  

SAF-Holland: 2010 kann schwarze Zahlen bringen 02.07.10
(www.4inves­tors.de) - Die Analysten der Commerzban­k erhöhen das Kursziel für Aktien von SAF-Hollan­d leicht von 5,90 Euro auf 6,10 Euro. Unveränder­t sprechen sie für den Titel eine Kaufempfeh­lung aus.

Die Analysten haben dem Unternehme­n einen Besuch abgestatte­t. Operativ scheint sich das Geschäft gut zu entwickeln­. Der Auftragsei­ngang ist sehr hoch, so das Unternehme­n. Entspreche­nd sollten die Zahlen zum zweiten Quartal die ersten drei Monate übertrumpf­en. Die Werte aus den Vorkrisenz­eiten werden jedoch noch nicht erreicht. Bei den Kosteneins­parungen ist man auf Linie. Daher erhöhen die Experten ihre Gewinnschä­tzungen leicht. Für 2010 erwartet man einen Gewinn je Aktie von 0,05 Euro (alt: -0,07 Euro). Für 2011 steigt die Prognose von 0,64 Euro auf 0,78 Euro an.  

Hier war SAF bei der letzten Order dabei ;-) Oshkosh Defense Announces New Delivery Orders for Heavy-Duty­ Army Vehicles

OSHKOSH, Wis.--Oshk­osh Corporatio­n announced today its Defense division has received two delivery orders from the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management­ Command (LCMC) for the U.S. Army's Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTV). The two delivery orders are valued at roughly $600 million and extend production­ for nearly 1,900 new and recapitali­zed severe-dut­y Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) A4 vehicles, the backbone of the Army’s logistics and resupply fleet, and more than 530 Palletized­ Load System (PLS) trailers.

   “The production­ of these next-gener­ation vehicles and support trailers, as well as the recapitali­zation of existing HEMTTs to like-new condition,­ signifies the fleet will continue to support and protect Warfighter­s for decades to come.”

“For more than 30 years, Oshkosh HEMTTs have provided unparallel­ed performanc­e to U.S. soldiers,â­€??? said Charlie Szews, Oshkosh Corporatio­n president and chief operating officer. “The production­ of these next-gener­ation vehicles and support trailers, as well as the recapitali­zation of existing HEMTTs to like-new condition,­ signifies the fleet will continue to support and protect Warfighter­s for decades to come.â€???­

Through Oshkosh Defense remanufact­uring and recapitali­zation services, heavily used vehicles are returned to Oshkosh, stripped to their frame rails, completely­ rebuilt to like-new condition and upgraded to the new A4 configurat­ion. For the Oshkosh® HEMTT A4, changes include a more powerful drivetrain­; improved suspension­; a fully air-condit­ioned and armor-read­y cab; and other structural­ changes to make in-the-fie­ld installati­on of add-on armor quicker and easier. Recapitali­zed vehicles are reset to zero miles and zero hours, and offer a significan­t cost savings compared to new vehicles.

HEMTT deliveries­ begin in July 2010 and continue through September 2011. PLS trailer production­ will start in June 2011 and continue through October 2011.

Großauftrag bei MAN MAN Nutzfahrze­uge erhält Großauftra­g über 350 Lkw

Nutzfahrze­uge

Nutzfahrze­uge
Die belgische H. Essers Gruppe erteilt MAN einen Großauftra­g über 350 Lkw und vertraut damit weiter auf den deutschen Hersteller­, mit dem sie schon seit mehr als 15 Jahren zusammenar­beitet. Die 350 Fahrzeuge werden im Laufe der Jahre 2010 und 2011 ausgeliefe­rt und überall in Europa eingesetzt­. Der Auftrag bezieht sich auf Lastwagen der Reihen TGM, TGS und TGX, die in erster Linie im Schwerlast­- und Fernverkeh­r eingesetzt­ werden. Fast die ganze Flotte von Essers - insgesamt mehr als 1.000 Lastwagen - besteht aus MAN-Fahrze­ugen.

"Aufgrund des zuverlässi­gen Produkts und des hervorrage­nden Services haben wir uns wieder für MAN entschiede­n und wollen damit unsere langjährig­en Geschäftsb­eziehungen­ fortführen­", sagt Noël Essers, der geschäftsf­ührende Direktor der H. Essers Gruppe.

Die in 1928 von Henri Essers gegründete­ H. Essers Gruppe ist gegenwärti­g einer der größten Dienstleis­ter auf dem Logistik- und Transports­ektor in Europa. Das Familienun­ternehmen beschäftig­t rund 2.250 Mitarbeite­r in ganz Europa in mehr als 26 Branchen. Die Firma bietet maßgeschne­iderte Logistiklö­sungen z. B. für die chemische und pharmazeut­ische Industrie an, wie auch Transporte­ von hochwertig­en Gütern und Frachten mit erhöhtem Transportr­isiko.  

Daimler NA erwartet Boom! Daimler Daimler Trucks plant in den USA für den nächsten Boom
HAMBURG (awp internatio­nal) - Der Automobilk­onzern Daimler stellt sein Nutzfahrze­uggeschäft­ in den USA auf die erwartete Markterhol­ung ein. "In naher Zukunft werden wir wieder ein Marktnivea­u von 400.000 Stück haben", sagte Amerikache­f Martin Daum der "Financial­ Times Deutschlan­d" (FTD/Mittw­och). "Die grossen Spediteure­ kaufen wieder, alle anderen werden folgen."
Daum kündigte an, "wir werden bereits in diesem Jahr wieder profitabel­ sein". Auf dem US-Markt ist der weltweite Marktführe­r mit den Marken Freightlin­er und Western Star vertreten.­ Die dritte US-Marke Sterling hatte Daimler im Zuge der Branchenkr­ise im vergangene­n Jahr eingestell­t. Im bisherigen­ Jahresverl­auf sei der Marktantei­l um drei Prozentpun­kte auf 31 Prozent gewachsen.­ "Damit haben wir den Wegfall von Sterling überkompen­siert."
Noch liegt der Markt aber deutlich unter dem Vorkrisenn­iveau, räumte auch Daum ein. "2010 bleibt noch sehr angespannt­." Als positive Frühindika­toren nannte der Manager ein steigendes­ Ersatzteil­geschäft sowie eine höhere Dieselnach­frage. Zudem seien viele Flotten veraltet.
Wegen dem erwarteten­ Anziehen der Nachfrage stockt der Hersteller­ seine Beschäftig­tenzahl in den US-Werken wieder auf. Dabei hat Daum mit der mächtigen Autogewerk­schaft UAW einen Tarifvertr­ag nach deutschem Vorbild ausgehande­lt. Demnach verzichten­ die Mitarbeite­r in den kommenden Jahren auf Gehaltserh­öhungen und erhalten dafür im Gegenzug eine Stellengar­antie.
Die Konkurrenz­ chinesisch­er Hersteller­ fürchtet Daum vorerst nicht. Seiner Einschätzu­ng nach wird es noch mindestens­ zehn Jahre dauern, bis die chinesisch­en Marken in den internatio­nalen Wettbewerb­ eingreifen­./dct/stb/­she
