MARKET OUTLOOK & RECENT TRADING

Market outlook (as published on 10 March 2025 and 28 April 2025)

Recent trading

  • ― Strong order intake in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 mainly driven by replacement demand.
  • ― Monthly sequential upward trend broken in March/April 2025, May stable vs. April.
  • ― On a YoY basis, the order intake continues to grow significantly.
  • ― US customers remain in wait-and-see mode due to ongoing tariff and economic uncertainties.
  • ― Lowest order intake in North America in April so far in 2025 according to ACT (confirmed by International).
  • ― Market decline could even go beyond the -10%.
  • ― Brazilian truck market confronted with increased dealer stock, high interest rates and inflation.
  • ― Mixed picture: Scania with weaker order momentum than VWTB.

VARIOUS TOPICS

US tariffs

  • ― Production in North America meets the current USMCA requirements for trucks and busses.
  • ― All units sold in US are USMCA compliant.
  • ― Less than 1% of imported parts from China.
  • ― No formal plans to change our production setup.
  • ― Majority of deliveries through May not impacted by tariff-related cost increases.
  • ― Still evaluating potential impact of tier 2/3 suppliers and tariff cost-related pass throughs.
  • ― Based on current tariff regulations, orders placed for production in June and July include a surcharge. This covers all incremental supplier and raw material tariff-related costs so far.
  • ― We keep revaluating potential future pricing measures.

China plant

  • ― Construction is progressing well; aim to open plant in October 2025.
  • ― Estimated volume in 2025 up to 1k units, 2026 up to 10k units.
  • ― In previous setup in 2024, generated ~0.5% of unit sales in China.
  • ― Total investment ~2 billion Euro of capex and R&D, approximately half already spent until end of 2024.
  • ― Most of remaining ~1 billion Euro expected to be invested in 2025, until start of production. About 50% planned to be directly expensed.

BRAND DEVELOPMENTS

  • ― Planned production capacity tuned down further due to trend reversal in order intake in Europe in March and declining momentum in Brazil.
  • ― Q2 2025 margin continues to be negatively impacted by lower unit sales, strong SEK, expenses for China production build-up.

  • ― Short-time work ended in Q2 following encouraging order intake development, and increased Cracow production quota.
  • ― RoS expected to improve in Q2 over Q1; anticipate higher RoS in H2 vs. H1.
  • ― Bus also developing well.

Scania MAN International VWTB

  • ― Order intake remains low in Q2 due to reduced transport activities, uncertainties around tariffs and no EPA 2027 pre-buy.
  • ― Closed 2nd shift in Mexico.
  • ― Anticipating lower truck unit sales, lower fixed cost absorption and negative margin impact.

  • ― Less affected by weakening Brazilian and Mexican markets than Scania.
  • ― With less focus on heavy trucks VWTB's development is more in line with our market outlook.
