Daimler Truck delivers strong performance in Q2
London, August 01, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––Daimler Truck Holding AG (Daimler Truck) continued its trajectory towards becoming a stronger company. On Group level, Daimler Truck reported strong profitability. The adjusted return on sales (ROS) in the Industrial Business (IB) remained unchanged at 9.3% compared to previous year’s Q2 driven by steadfast performances across all four industrial segments. Despite 20% lower unit sales, Trucks North America reported a strong adjusted ROS of 12.9% (Q2 2024: 14.6%). Mercedes-Benz Trucks improved profitability to 5.9% (Q2 2024: 3.1%). Daimler Buses achieved a strong adjusted ROS of 10.0% (Q2 2024: 9.2%), and Trucks Asia increased its profit margin to 5.4% (Q2 2024: 4.9%).
Karin Rådström, CEO of Daimler Truck: “In the first half of 2025, we again demonstrated a strong performance. While Trucks North America achieved remarkable results in a challenging market, Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Daimler Buses and Trucks Asia all increased their profitability versus the previous year. For the second half of the year, we continue to focus on navigating the dynamics and uncertainties.”
With €11.8 billion, the IB revenue was slightly below the previous year’s second quarter (Q2 2024: €12.5 billion). Revenue development was particularly impacted by lower unit sales at Group level. Adjusted Group EBIT in the reporting period was €1.12 billion (Q2 2024: €1.17 billion). Free cash flow (FCF) of the IB was €20 million (Q2 2024: minus €285 million). Earnings per share in Q2 amounted to €0.36 (Q2 2024: €0.93).
The Group’s sales in Q2 totaled 106,715 units (Q2 2024: 112,195). Group unit sales of battery-electric trucks and buses (ZEVs) significantly increased to 1,232 units (Q2 2024: 648). Overall incoming orders totaled 88,241 units for the Group (Q2 2024: 92,569), reflecting continuous market uncertainty resulting in low order intakes in North America, while Mercedes-Benz Trucks recorded significantly increased orders.
