Greetings and a warm welcome to our very first issue of TruckBus News Magazine! We couldn’t be more excited to have made it to this point. Please take some time to get to know the layout of our magazine. You will notice the 4 categories of articles: Bus & Coach , Truck& Trailer, Parts & Components, Events, Within each category, there are four to six articles for you to enjoy. You can look at one category at a time, or just peruse the articles on the home page to choose which to read first. Just as with a paper magazine, you may want to sit and read the whole thing at once, or come back to this issue several times to digest the articles more slowly. We prepared a magazine that we want to read! When we set out to create an online magazine that would promote commercial vehicles, one thing we agreed on right away was to steer away from the glossy images of the too perfect,product driven magazines that we all sometimes read. What you will find in the pages of TruckBus News Magazine is a collection of inspired and instructive articles of commercial vehicles sector. We appreciate your support and are so happy to have you as a reader of TruckBus News Magazine. With warmest welcome T R U C K B U S N E WS T E A M

MAN supports the 2017 Ice Hockey World Championships During the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships in France and Germany this year, the teams will travel to their games in the comfort and safety afforded by MAN coaches. The organisers of this year’s IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships have chosen Asterix and Obelix to be the official mascots. “Nothing is impossible” according to this famous duo, words that offer encouragement to teams and fans alike. However, there are some areas where these two indomitable Gauls do not serve as role models for the athletes. Take travel, for instance. Whereas Asterix and Obelix adventures are mostly spent walking here, there and everywhere, the ice hockey teams have the luxury of trav-

So that the German national team could travel in style, MAN Truck & Bus presented the German Ice Hockey Federation (DEB) with the first of the 20 Lion’s Coaches that MAN are providing for the championships. “We’re delighted that our coaches will make a significant contribution to ensuring that the 2017 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships are a success,” revelled MAN Truck & Bus Head of Marketing, Björn Loose, following the presentation of the team coach. “Dynamism, technique and power are three qualities inherent to ice hockey and its ability to captivate.

Hankook Tire Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2017 Hankook Tire announced global sales revenues of KRW 1.639 trillion in sales. Ultra High Performance Tire (UHPT) sales accounted for 36.7% of total sales, marking a 1.4% increase in comparison to the same period last year. The company will continue to strengthen its premium brand value by expanding sales of UHPT and larger size tires starting from 17-inch. Hankook Tire announced its global financial results for the first quarter of 2017 with consolidated sales of KRW 1.639 trillion (1.333 billion Euro) and an operating profit of KRW 231 billion (187.88 million Euro). This positive growth is mainly attributed to the impressive sales performance of Ultra High Performance Tires (UHPT) and an overall sales increase across different regions. Sales of UHPT grew by 1.4 percent year-on-year, accounting for 36.7 percent of total sales generated during the first quarter. In particular, UHPT sales showed an 11 percent and a 26 percent year-on-year increase in Europe and China, respectively. This significant sales growth in both regions was mainly driven by the increased supply of original equipment tires (OET) and the continued strong sales of replacement tires (RET). The company is planning to expand sales of UHPT and larger size tires starting from 17-inch, as future demand is expected to increase. All in all, while continuing to promote its global brand value and technology leadership, Hankook Tire will sharpen its competitive edge in premium tires.

With the lifting of sanctions, Iran is expected to be a major trade and logistics hub. Easier movement of goods with no threat of sanctions will provide great trade opportunities in Iran. There are proposed projects to improve port and road infrastructure through partnerships with various nations. The commercial vehicle (CV) market picked up after Q1 2016, experiencing a healthy CAGR of % from 2015 to 2022. The market has remained stagnant for a while due to both external and internal factors crippling economic growth and trade. French and German original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are already in talks with local commercial vehicle manufacturers to begin the process of re-entry with the sanctions having been lifted. Customers are awaiting the return of Western OEMs and holding back purchases in a market currently riddled with substandard quality. The commercial vehicle market is dominated by local manufacturers such as IKCO, SAIPA, and Bahman Group, which, in partnership with various foreign OEMs make up % of the total market. The three manufacturers have expanded the sales process and dealer numbers. Iran Khodro Diesel, Saipa Diesel and Bahman Diesel Co use external companies or different business units of their parent companies for sales and distribution. They have dense networks of sales points. This fortifies their market positions and ensures closer customer relations. Sales staff also receive training to advise customers.
