This message serves to inform you regarding the status of our project Unimog for North America. As you may be aware from the media coverage and Freightliner press releases, we had intended to market the Unimog through the Freightliner dealer network, beginning in March 2002. Unfortunately the downturn in the North American truck market and it's impact on Freightliner requiered that this project had to be reconsidered. DaimlerChrysler Unimog Division in Germany is still committed to bring the Unimog U 500 to North America. We are working on a new strategy and plan to be able to offer our Unimog U 500 in the second half of 2002. We apprechiate your interest in this exciting new product and will keep you advised of the progress and the availability. Please find enclosed technical information on our product and feel free to let us know your thoughts and comments.
