Percentage changes based on unrounded figures
Scania and Volkswagen Truck & Bus again sold more vehicles in the third quarter of 2024 than in the prior-year quarter. This was mainly due to the continued strong market environment in South America, whereby declines in European business at Scania have been more than offset.
The persistently weak market environment in Europe, particularly in Germany, impacted unit sales of trucks at MAN Truck & Bus. Bus and van sales were also below those in the prior-year quarter.
International (formerly Navistar) increased its unit sales compared to the prior-year quarter. Due to a fire at the plant of a mirror supplier in the second quarter of 2024, some trucks could not be completed and delivered as planned. The vast majority of the resulting delivery backlog has since been cleared. Unit sales of buses were also up year-on-year in the third quarter as deliveries of the new school bus model continued to ramp up.
The TRATON GROUP will publish its 9M 2024 Interim Statement on October 28, 2024. It will be available here: https://ir.traton.com/en/publications/
