Daimler upgrades 2026 guidance as tariff burden lessens

Daimler Truck’s revenue grew 5.3% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, to €12.3bn (US$14.2bn), driven by a 7.6% boost in global deliveries. All of the group’s divisions saw top-line growth to a lesser or greater extent, though the profitability of Trucks North America is still weighed down by tariffs, higher material costs and a negative sales mix.
