| 摘要： | January 1975 saw a turning point in the history of the commercial vehicle industry. Five truck and bus manufacturers in Italy, France and Germany merged to form the Industrial Vehicles Corporation (IVECO), headquartered in the neutral territory of the Netherlands. A multinational truck manufacturer was a novelty then, but now all the major truck companies active in Europe are not just multinationals, but actual intercontinental concerns with design and manufacturing presence in the Americas, Europe and Asia. And IVECO, once regarded as a giant, is comparatively small fry now when compared to the likes of Daimler Truck, Paccar (DAF), Traton (Scania and MAN), and Volvo Group (Volvo and Renault), in spite of further acquisitions including Ford's European truck division, Spain's Pegaso, Germany's Magirus and the UK's Seddon Atkinson. Now it seems that the primary suppliers to the truck industry are going down a similar route. Cummins has acquired engine-brake specialist Jacobs and axle and brake manufacturer Meritor; BorgWarner now owns Delphi (injection and electronic controls), Delco Remy (electric motors), RMS and AM Racing (electric and hybrid propulsion) and Sevcon (power electronics and charging); and the ZF brand portfolio includes Lemforder, Sachs, TRW, WABCO and Boge. Furthermore, axle manufacturer SAF-Holland has taken a controlling stake in Swedish brake manufacturer Haldex. |
