Daimler Truck, the parent company of Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), reported strong performance in battery-electric vehicle (EV) sales in 2024 despite a decline in overall sales and revenue.

The Trucks Asia segment recorded a sharp decline of 22% in 2024, with sales dropping to 125,234 units from 161,171 units in 2023.

Revenue in this segment also fell 13% to €6,111 million from €7,060 million.

Weak demand in India, Indonesia, and other Asian markets and slower growth in the EU30 region contributed to the decline.

Despite the overall downturn, Daimler Truck’s order intake rose 15% in Q4 2024, driven by improved performance in Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Trucks Asia.
