olvo Group's total truck deliveries increased 3% through October, the truck maker said Tuesday, led by a 9% gain at its Renault Trucks company.

Deliveries from Mack rose 3% in the ten-month period, while deliveries from Volvo Trucks were flat compared with a year ago, Volvo said in a statement.

Deliveries from Renault rose to 55,000 from about 48,600 last year, led by an increase in European demand. Mack deliveries increased to about 31,100 from 30,200 last year as North American customers continued to buy trucks ahead of stricter emission standards going into effect Jan. 1.
