* Germany - Daimler to Invest in MannheimStuttgart,Germany -Just Auto (UK) -4 Aug 2007: -- Daimler AG is to invest €150 million over the next two years in its heavy truck engine assembly plant in Mannheim.. The project has been given the name of 'synchronous factory', and will include the construction of an assembly and logistics hall, new manufacturing equipment technologies and infrastructure projects... The aim is to improve productivity and make the plant one of the most efficient in the sector... Mannheim produced around 400,000 engines in 2006 - 8,500 people are employed in the engine plant and neighbouring EvoBus facilities... (Photo: Evo Bus)
* Germany - MAN and the Future
Germany -Road Transport (UK) -4 Oct 2007: -- And so we return from the opening of MAN’s Krakow plant with much to think about... Samuelson and Piëch do not look happy together. This is a grotesque understatement; it’s always difficult to know quite what to say in situations in which an abundance of mutual antipathy pervades the atmosphere... Both Samuelson and Östling have done rather good jobs at MAN and Scania. Our views on the formers’ initial bid for the latter remain unchanged but, on balance, both have shown themselves to be rather adept at managing European truck companies... We suspect that FP is looking to engender a culture of agreement between MAN and Scania. In other words, appointments look likely to be based on the applicants’ ability to agree with the grand vision, and to say the right things at the right moment... As for the new plant, very nice, very shiny, very much like a new truck plant. MAN will have installed capacity of 130,000 units per year as of 2009, and it may be that MAN has lucked out in terms of having capacity at just the right time...
