Traton Half-Year Report 2023
The TRATON GROUP generated sales revenue of €22.9 billion (H1 2022: €18.0 billion) in the reporting period, up 27% on the previous year’s level. This increase is attributable to higher unit sales of new vehicles, a positive market and product mix, better unit price realization, and an increase in the Vehicle Services business. Both the genuine parts business and workshop services recorded growth. Currency effects did not have any material impact on sales revenue in the first half of 2023 on the whole.
In the first half of 2023, the TRATON GROUP recorded tremendous progress in the field of electric mobility and at the same time further implemented its TRATON Way Forward strategy, which charts a course for the Company’s future success.
Thanks to increasingly stable supply chains and higher production volumes, TRATON got off to a good start in fiscal year 2023. This positive business perfor- mance continued in the second quarter. For example, unit sales in the first six months increased by 22% to 168,114 vehicles. Sales revenue grew 27% to reach €22.9 billion. Operating return on sales (adjusted) improved by 4.2 percentage points year-on-year to 8.6%.
Sales revenue in the TRATON Financial Services segment rose by 21% year-on- year to €737 million. This growth was driven by the expansion of the financing portfolio and by higher interest income.
