German heavy commercial vehicle manufacturer MAN intends to
acquire a majority share in truck leasing company Euroleasing,
giving it access to a fleet of some 1,000 vehicles.

MAN had originally had a 25.1 percent stake in Euroleasing, but
this was diluted to 16 percent after a capital increase.

Now a company spokesman has said that the truck maker wishes to
buy another stake of 33.39 percent, in order to achieve a
majority.

No financial terms have yet been disclosed, and the deal is
awaiting anti-trust approval.
