Traton Group, part of the Volkswagen Group, increased its total vehicle sales by 10% to 78,900 units in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year, based on preliminary figures. Customer demand grew significantly, especially in the United States.

This continues the upward trend following a modest start to the year and a 4% sales increase in the second quarter of 2026. The cumulative sales for the first nine months of 2026 now amount to 230,400 vehicles, which is 3% higher than the previous year’s level.

Scania Vehicles & Services increased sales by 3 percent in the third quarter of 2026. The main drivers were the increased production at its new factory in Rugao, China, as well as Brazil’s government-backed credit program “Move Brasil.” Sales for the first nine months of 2026 were 1 percent higher than in the same period last year.

MAN Truck & Bus experienced a slight 1 percent decline in sales during the third quarter of 2026. While truck business performed well, sales of buses and the TGE van declined. Over the first nine months of 2026, MAN’s sales were 5 percent higher than in the previous year’s corresponding period.

International Motors achieved a 48 percent increase in sales in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the previous year’s quarter, more than offsetting the sales decline in the first half of 2026. The U.S. market recently showed strong recovery in customer demand. Thus, International’s sales increase over the first nine months of 2026 was 3 percent.

Volkswagen Truck & Bus (VWTB) recorded a 5 percent sales increase in the third quarter of 2026. The government-backed credit program in Brazil also had a positive impact here. However, VWTB experienced a 1 percent sales decline over the first nine months of 2026 due to a weak start in the first quarter.

In the third quarter, Traton Group delivered 770 electric vehicles, representing a 6 percent decline compared to the same period last year. Specifically, 250 vehicles were sold by Scania, 380 by MAN, 100 by International Motors, and 40 by Volkswagen Truck & Bus.
