Mack Trucks reported Tuesday that rig deliveries in August were down 40 percent from the same month a year ago.

Mack is based in Greensboro, N.C., and produces trucks at its facility in Upper Macungie Township that employs roughly 500 workers.

The company manufactured 755 trucks in August, 511 fewer than in August 2008.

Mack is on a pace to have its worst production year in at least a decade, caused by what officials have said is a drop in demand because of declines in the shipping and construction industries.

Through August, Mack has produced 6,827 trucks for the year, down 38 percent from 2008.

Mack does not produce trucks on speculation like automakers, so deliveries represent actual customer orders.

Volvo AB, the Sweden-based parent company of Mack, reported Tuesday that company-wide sales which includes brands such as Renualt and Volvo were down 52 percent in August from the same month a year ago because of large decreases in truck demand from regions like North America, Asia and Europe.
