I was to read this, not because it may have happened, but because of the manufacturers names that have been mentioned who may be involved.

Typically, Scania have always been the highest price, but retain their resale value. Likewise with Volvo, but Iveco are known to be cheap and cheerful with Mercedez, Renault and MAN in between.
So why would Iveco possible be involved? I don't understand that.
The price differential between the top of the range and the bottom is vast, and there are many deals done by large firms where they buy 6 units and get one free.
