                                  PRESS RELEASE

Consorcio G Grupo Dina, S.A. de C.V. and MCII Holdings (USA), Inc. Announce Cash
Tender Offers and Solicitations of Consents With Respect to their Senior Secured
Discount Notes due 2002 and Dina Trucks (USA), L.L.C. Senior Secured Guaranteed
Notes due 2000

DES PLAINES, Ill., May 14, 1999 -- Consorcio G Grupo Dina, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE:
DIN) and MCII Holdings (USA), Inc. announced today that Grupo Dina is commencing
a tender offer and consent solicitation relating to all of the $206,499,680
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2002
(the "Discount Notes") issued by Grupo Dina and MCII Holdings. Grupo Dina also
is commencing a tender offer and consent solicitation relating to all of the
$35,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Secured Guaranteed
Notes due 2000 (the "Guaranteed Notes") issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Dina Trucks (USA), L.L.C., and guaranteed by Grupo Dina and Dina Camiones, S.A.
de C.V.

In connection with the tender offers, Grupo Dina is soliciting consents to (a)
defer payment of interest on the Discount Notes until the earlier of July 15,
1999 or settlement of the tender offer and (b) adopt amendments to the
indentures under which the Discount Notes and Guaranteed Notes were issued to
eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain event of default
provisions.

As described in more detail in the Offers to Purchase and Consent Solicitations
dated as of May 14, 1999, the consideration for each Discount Note and
Guaranteed Note tendered and accepted for payment will be (a) $980 per $1,000 of
Notes, plus (b) a consent payment of $20 per $1,000 of Notes, plus (c) accrued
interest through the settlement date. The consent payment will be paid only for
tendered Notes for which consents have been validly delivered and not revoked
prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on Wednesday, May 26, 1999, unless
extended. The tender offers will terminate at 9:00 a.m. New York City time on
Monday, June 14, 1999, unless extended.

The tender offers are part of an overall plan to recapitalize and substantially
restructure all of the indebtedness of Grupo Dina and its subsidiaries through a
series of dependent transactions, including (a) an approximate $150 million
investment by Joseph Littlejohn & Levy, Fund III in MCII Holdings, or in one or
more of MCII Holdings' subsidiaries or affiliates, in exchange for an equity
interest in excess of 50% in such entity, (b) Grupo Dina's Transportation
Manufacturing Operations, Inc. ("TMO") subsidiary entering into a new senior
credit facility in an approximate amount of $300 million and (c) TMO issuing
approximately $200 million of senior subordinated notes. In addition to the debt
repurchased pursuant to the tender offers, TMO would repay substantially all of
its outstanding indebtedness. Finally, it is contemplated that MCII Holdings
would transfer its Dina Autobuses, S.A. de C.V. subsidiary to TMO. Each of the
foregoing transactions is conditioned upon the closing of the others and
numerous other conditions precedent, including satisfactory completion of
applicable due diligence investigations. No assurance can be given that Grupo
Dina will


                                       -5-

successfully consummate the transactions.

The proposed offering of senior subordinated notes will not be registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements.

The tender offers are conditioned upon, among other things, the satisfaction of
requisite consent conditions, minimum tender conditions and financing
conditions, each as described in more detail in the Offers to Purchase and
Consent Solicitations.
