COMPETITIVE IMPACT STATEMENT
The United States, pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act
("APPA"), 15 U.S.C. § 16(b)-(h), files this Competitive Impact Statement relating to the
proposed Final Judgment submitted for entry in this civil antitrust proceeding.
I.
NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THIS PROCEEDING
The United States filed a civil antitrust Complaint under Section 15 of the Clayton Act, 15
U.S.C. § 25 on December 18, 2000, alleging Aktiebolaget Volvo's ("AB Volvo") acquisition of
Renault V.I. S.A. ("Renault V.I."), which includes Mack Trucks, Inc. ("Mack"), from Renault
S.A. ("Renault") would substantially lessen competition in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton
Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18.
The Complaint alleges the defendants are the two largest producers of heavy duty (class
8), low cab over engine straight trucks ("LCOE Trucks") in the United States. The proposed
acquisition would result in AB Volvo accounting for approximately 86 percent of heavy duty
LCOE Truck sales in the United States. The Complaint alleges the transaction will substantially
lessen competition in the development, production, and sale of heavy duty LCOE Trucks sold in
