Daimler Truck financial and strategic developments

Overview

Daimler Truck has undergone significant financial and strategic shifts. The company successfully generated approximately 600 million euros by reducing its stake in the truck manufacturer Archion to 25 percent. This move occurred alongside a broader global trend where sales of medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks and buses nearly doubled in 2025, driven largely by the Chinese market.

However, recent second-quarter 2026 financial reports indicate mixed performance. While total truck and bus deliveries increased to 86,707 units and industrial revenue rose to 11.4 billion euros, the bus division saw a 25 percent decrease in orders and a 13 percent decline in sales. Consequently, the overall group result fell by 48 percent compared to the previous year, dropping from 245 million to 128 million euros. Despite these downturns, the company has raised its sales and margin forecasts for its North American truck operations.
