Total deliveries were down 4% for the six months so far. Mainstream car/lcv were up 2%, Premium -8%, Sport/Lux -7% and Trucks -5%. No nothing out of the ordinary although one would expect any manufacturer wants to grow. Still, six months is too short to read much into it. So do regional deliveries add to the picture? I though you'd never ask.
Regional deliveries: The Americas did well but China and the Asia/Pacific region were the telling factor. China in particular is a large market for the company and that decrease alone more than offset gains elsewhere. Depending on where sales in China go for the rest of the year will determine whether deliveries climb or fall. Less dependence on China isn't a bad thing.
