Traton's Delivery Decline: Volkswagen's truck unit Traton reported a 10% decrease in first-quarter deliveries, selling 73,100 trucks and buses compared to 81,100 the previous year, citing a challenging market and low transportation activity in the U.S.
Market Outlook: JP Morgan predicts that weak order intake for truck manufacturers will continue into the second quarter and potentially affect demand, pushing heavy truck demand in North America from 2025 to 2026.
