TRATON GROUP Lowers 2025 Forecast Amid Market Challenges

Munich, 24 July 2025 – TRATON GROUP has revised its full-year 2025 outlook downward due to challenging market conditions. This decision is influenced by uncertainties in US tariff policy, a sluggish European economy, and increasing problems in Brazil. As a result, customer caution has intensified, leading to a projected decline in the North American truck market.

The updated forecast sees unit sales declining between 10% to stable, and sales revenue showing a similar trend. The operating return on sales is now projected between 6.0% to 7.0%, a reduction from previous expectations. Additionally, net cash flow is adjusted to €1.0 to €1.5 billion.

In the first half of 2025, TRATON's revenue was 6% lower year-on-year at €21.9 billion. The company's operating return on sales fell to 6.3% from the previous year's 9.1%. As macroeconomic uncertainties persist, the outlook remains subject to geopolitical developments.
