As we approach the end of 2016 we would like to inform you that together we will once again
make record sales worldwide. During 2016 we have signed frame agreements with both Volvo
and Scania on pre-defined packages, use these to your advantage.
The result of this growth as the end of the year comes in sight is that, for a limited period, you
might experience longer delivery times and delayed shipments. We hope this does not cause too
much trouble for you and your commitments.
As we continue to sell we expect to see this situation quickly resolve itself. Looking forward, we
are focusing on expanding our production and delivery capabilities in order to manage 2017 in the
best possible way.
We will also continue to work hard and give our customers increased value with new products
and services during 2017. During next year the new measuring head will be available, enabling
you to use a wider range of wheel adapters for the JOSAM i-track system.
The average price adjustment for 2017, based on our volumes, has been kept to a minimum and is
less than 3.3% combined, partly due to a weaker exchange rate of the Swedish krona towards
other currencies.
The adjustments are differentiated, with a minimal price increase on kits, 2%, and a higher
increase in parts, 5%, and spare parts, 15%, with some exceptions.
Hopefully, this will encourage more of our customers to buy our pre-defined kits. Further, we will
start with NET prices on our induction heaters and their spare parts as well as on cab adapters.
In addition, we have changed our warranty policy for equipment purchased after 1st January 2017
in a favorable 24 months from delivery date, see attached letter.
During the second half of 2017 we will implement different discount levels based on your
performance and ambition level - higher performance and greater ambition will be rewarded.
The purpose of this is to shift the focus from discounts to performance, making it easier for you to
sell by return on investment (ROI) rather than by improving your bargaining skills.
For additional information please contact your regional office or Area Sales Manager.
Thank you for your continued support and work. We are looking forward to working with and
supporting you in every possible way during 2017
