Incoming orders also witnessed a slight 2% decrease in 2024 due to the declining demand in EU30 region and the weaker market demand in India, Indonesia and other Asian markets. However, the Group’s order intake in Q4 2024 driven by positive development in Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Trucks Asia increased significantly by 15%, compared to Q4 2023. Daimler Truck registered 460,409 commercial vehicles sales worldwide in 2024, a 12% decrease from its sales in 2023 which stood at 526,053 units.
