The company is expanding its Commercial Vehicle Solutions division, aiming to increase its revenue from approximately 7.8 billion euros to nine billion euros by the end of the decade. This expansion focuses on drivetrain, chassis, braking, and steering technologies to capitalize on the electric truck market, despite competition from Chinese manufacturers. Concurrently, the company has reached agreements with the IG Metall union and the works council regarding labor and site security. In Friedrichshafen, a new ‘Leistung-Plus’ model will replace the ‘Zeppelin-Zulage’ supplement by July 2027, linking extra payments to individual performance and economic success.
