The report quotes Béla Hetzmann, Chairman and CEO of Rába Plc., who says that the steadily rising share price clearly reflects market confidence and confirms the steps taken in the recent period.
The arrival of a new investor, the continuous progress of the roof structure modernization under the Modernization Program, and the strategic steps that have been taken and are still ongoing are all factors that could open up a new growth path for the company, the Chairman and CEO pointed out.
According to the company, the medium-term effects of US customs regulations, the uncertainty surrounding the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the high level of European manufacturing costs suggest that no significant positive shift is expected in the outlook for the European commercial vehicle market next year.
