BERLIN (DPA, CONVERSEER) – Commercial vehicle manufacturer Daimler Truck reported a fall in its third-quarter net profit on Friday.
The German firm’s quarterly profit attributable to shareholders decreased to €434 million ($501 million) or €0.57 per share from €610 million or €0.77 per share in the same quarter last year.
The firm said the group’s performance was impacted by persistent headwinds in the North American truck market, where customers remain in a cautious wait-and-see mode amid a weak freight environment and uncertainty surrounding regulatory developments.
Revenue for the third quarter declined to €10.551 billion from €12.177 billion in the same period of 2024.
In the third quarter of 2025, Daimler Truck reported Group unit sales totalling 98,009 units, a decline from 114,917 units in the same period of 2024.
