Aborted Volvo takeover

The German truckmaker MAN AG launched a €10.3bn hostile offer to acquire Scania AB. Scania's CEO Leif Östling was forced to apologise for comparing the bid of MAN to a "Blitzkrieg", but his defense against the offer was successful. Volkswagen, Investor and MAN are now engaged in talks aimed a solution for the future of Scania, but bitterness between the sides remains high and it is unclear if any deal will actually occur. MAN and Volkswagen have cooperated before, resulting in a narrow MAN/VW 16 t truck challenging the Mercedes-Benz Unimog and the Terberg TS1000. more recently, Volkswagen have purchased a 29% stake in MAN, and Ferdinand Piech, VW Group's supervisory board Chairman, is expected to be elected to the supervisory board of MAN as well.
