Strong Group performance in Q2 despite continuous macroeconomic uncertainty

Amidst a second quarter marked by ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties particularly in the North American market, 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%).

 

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.
