Daimler Truck Holding AG (“Daimler Truck”) delivered solid financial Group results in 2024, driven by a very strong performance in North America and at Daimler Buses, despite challenges in Europe and Asia. After a record year in 2023, the Company's financial performance in 2024 was impacted by a slowdown in demand in key markets, particularly affecting Mercedes-Benz Trucks in Europe. The effects in Europe were only partly offset by recovering markets in Latin America.

 

In the past year, we achieved an adjusted EBIT of 4.7 billion euros and an adjusted return on sales in our Industrial Business of 8.9 percent. This makes 2024 another solid year – and I look at it from two sides: We are proud of what we have accomplished, and I would like to sincerely thank our global Daimler Truck team for their dedication and great work. At the same time, 2024 varied across our segments. Trucks North America and Daimler Buses continued very strong. Mercedes-Benz Trucks did very well in Brazil but was affected by weak demand in its European core markets. Trucks Asia delivered solid operating results despite continued weak markets. In sum, we are convinced that we can do even better, and we are committed to unlocking even more of our potential.
