    Asked for an explanation for the higher G&A to revenue ratio in the quarter and for an outlook on the second quarter, including any signs of a slowdown in April.

For Q2, the trends from Q1 are continuing, with pressure in the North American truck market being offset by positive mitigation effects in other regions.
