International Motors sold 13,400 trucks and buses in the third quarter of 2025, a 57% decrease compared with 31,500 sales in the year-ago period, parent company Traton Group said Oct. 10.

Details on how the levies would be imposed and collected were scant as of Oct. 2, which kept truck makers understandably tight-lipped about the potential impact.

Both Daimler and Traton operate assembly sites in Mexico that may be affected by the levies.

Traton Group is not as optimistic as at least one of its peers about the prospects for North American medium- and heavy-duty truck demand in the second half of 2025, CEO Christian Levin said.

International sold 14,628 trucks in the most recent quarter, compared with 13,143 trucks a year earlier.

The company's sales jumped in direct contrast to those of its peers as a consequence of the year-ago period taking a hammering from a fire at a mirror supplier’s plant.

Traton Group plans to merge its global research and development operations under one umbrella.

Applied Intuition expects to use the funds to develop its next phase of vehicle intelligence products and expand the company’s product roster and team.

International Motors does not expect any job cuts at its U.S. manufacturing facilities despite a slump in demand in the first quarter of 2025, CEO Mathias Carlbaum said April 29.

International Motors’ sales and orders tumbled in the first quarter of 2025 as a result of economic uncertainty due to Trump administration tariffs and a weak U.S. freight market.
