Traton Q3 Report 2022

Significantly higher prices for energy, raw materials, and other bought-in parts as well as for logistics services were largely offset by higher vehicle prices. The comparatively lower gross margin at Navistar also had an effect. It is the result of a different distribution structure as well as other factors including distribution by third-party dealers in the USA. Without Navistar, the gross margin would have been 18.1% (9M 2021: 19.8%) for the TRATON GROUP and 17.3% (9M 2021: 18.9%) for the TRATON Operations business area.

Expenses attributable directly to the war in Ukraine amounted to €212 million in the TRATON Operations business area. The previous year had been negatively impacted by expenses of €681 million for restructuring measures at MAN Truck & Bus.
