- Les priorités de Volvo Global Trucks: les chaînes cinématiques, la R&D et les achats
Volvo Global Trucks a été porté sur les fonts baptismaux vendredi dernier à l’occasion du Salon des Véhicules utilitaires de Bruxelles. C’est la nouvelle organisation rassemblant les constructeurs de camions Volvo, Renault V.I. et Mack. Son président, Tryggve Sthen, a expliqué à la presse les grands axes des synergies qui seront développées au sein de cette nouvelle entité. Elles seront effectuées au sein des entités Global Powertrain et “3P” (Product Planning, Product Development, Purchasing), communes aux trois marques. Volvo reprend de la sorte la structure que mettait en place l’année passée Odile Desforges pour accroître les synergies entre Renault V.I. et Mack. Par contre, Sthen s’est refusé à tout commentaire sur quelques problèmes épineux, comme l’avenir de la coopération avec Mitsubishi dans le domaine du camion.

- Sabena ne croit pas à un désengagement du groupe SAir
Guère d’inquiétude auprès de la Sabena à la suite de la publication, par l’hebdomadaire dominical Sonntags-Zeitung, d’informations selon lesquelles le groupe SAir pourrait décider d’ici quelques semaines de freiner ses investissements dans des compagnies étrangères, voire même se désengager des compagnies en question, dont Sabena.
- Autriche: pas de péage pour les camions avant 2004
Au sein du gouvernement autrichien, les coups de théâtre se succèdent - et se ressemblent en ce qu’ils diminuent la crédibilité des dirigeants de ce pays. Il a environ un mois, le ministre des Transports - qu’on qualifie désormais de ministre de l’Infrastructurre - Michael Schmid (Freiheitliche Partei, FPOe) reconçait du jour au lendemain à son portefeuille et à toute activité politique pour reprendre son ancien métier à la tête d’un bureau d’architectes. C’était une mauvaise plaisanterie pour Haider et les autres ministres du FPOe, qui ont dû se mettre à la recherche d’un remplaçant. Ils l’ont trouvé en la personne de Monica Forstinger, une jeune femme qui n’a aucune expérience en matière de transport.
