* Hesse - VW not under pressure to sell trucks business
-- Volkswagen is not under pressure to sell its trucks business to raise cash as it faces billions of euros in costs after admitting to rigging emissions tests, management board member Andreas Renschler told a German newspaper... VW hired ex-Daimler executive Renschler last year to align its truckmaker MAN with its Swedish subsidiary Scania, and carve out a global business to better compete with industry leaders Daimler and Volvo... Asked whether the new structure could mean that the trucks business, now separated from VW's passenger car operations, could be spun off and floated on the stock exchange... Renschler said the situation in South America, especially in Brazil, was "extremely difficult" but that it was the right move to wait out the downturn and keep production going in Brazil until the economy recovers... The market in Russia, meanwhile, appears to have bottomed out, Renschler said, while the American market is likely to decline slightly and Africa shows some promise...
