Key Takeaways

  • Sales improved to 82,900 vehicles in Q2 (April–June), up 4% versus prior year, driven by a new China model launch and Brazilian government stimulus.
  • This follows a sluggish first quarter with falling unit sales, but growing incoming orders—signalling stronger momentum heading into H2 2026.
  • Traton’s strategic focus on China production (e.g., Rugao hub) and leveraging Brazil subsidies underpins its resilience amid global market headwinds.
