Percentage changes are based on unrounded values
Scania sold more vehicles in 2024 than in the previous year. This was mainly due to the continued strong market environment in South America.
The persistently weak market environment in Europe, particularly in Germany, and a model change during the year impacted unit sales of trucks at MAN Truck & Bus. Tighter regulatory requirements for vehicle software systems in the EU27+3 region led to delays in unit sales of buses.
In a declining North American truck market, International (formerly Navistar) recorded a slight year-on-year increase in its unit sales in 2024. This was mainly attributable to the healthy demand for medium-duty trucks. The new powertrain S13, which is based on the 13-liter Common Base Engine (CBE) of the Traton Group, attracted high customer interest throughout the year. After the delayed ramp-up of the new school bus model, bus sales also improved over the year.
Against the backdrop of the positive economic development in Brazil, Volkswagen Truck & Bus saw robust growth in sales of both trucks and buses in 2024.
The Traton Group will publish its 2024 Annual Report on March 10, 2025.
