Here is an interesting tale from Dow Jones. Interesting, yes, but rather well trailed too.

VW is looking to other markets for its Latin American heavy truck product - the Constellation. It's been doing this for a while for South Africa, and now both China ad Russia are mentioned as likely targets.

What does this say about VW's hopes for the MAN-Scania merger? If VW had faith in the deal going through, then would it be pursuing this course? Unlikely, we feel.
