In its first-quarter earnings report for 2025, Daimler Truck reported a decline in key financial metrics, including unit sales and revenue, compared to the same period in the previous year. Despite these challenges, the company continues to focus on strategic initiatives such as the integration of its businesses in China and India into the Mercedes-Benz Trucks segment and the launch of new electric vehicle models.
The company saw an 8% decrease in unit sales, totaling 99,812 units, with revenue falling by 6% to €12.4 billion. The EBIT stood at €1,080 million, slightly down from the previous year. Notably, the free cash flow of the Industrial Business experienced a significant drop, primarily due to changes in working capital and lower customer prepayments. On a positive note, research and development expenditure increased by 13%, reflecting the company’s commitment to innovation.
Strategic highlights include the launch of the second-generation battery-electric school bus Jouley and a major contract with Amazon for over 200 eActros 600 electric trucks.
