<?php } ?>

Answer

One simple way to do this, based on what you already have, would be

foreach($vehicles as $i => $value){
  $ford = $scania = $man = '-'; // initialize variables with placeholder value '-'
  foreach($value['vehicles'] as $vehicle) {
    // set variables to brand, if model matches
    if($vehicle['model'] == 'ford') {
      $ford = $vehicle['brand'];
    }
    if($vehicle['model'] == 'scania') {
      $scania = $vehicle['brand'];
    }
    if($vehicle['model'] == 'man') {
      $man = $vehicle['brand'];
    }
  }

?>

 <tr>
 <td><?php echo $value["vehicleowner"]?></td>
 <td><?php echo $ford;?></td>
 <td><?php echo $scania;?></td>
 <td><?php echo $man;?></td>
 <tr>

More sophisticated variants using an array instead of individual variables, etc., are of course conceivable.
