April 10 (Reuters) - ‌Daimler ​Truck, ​one of the world's largest truckmakers, ‌on Friday reported a ⁠9% decline in first-quarter group ‌unit sales, weighed ‌down by a sharp slowdown in North America. The ​company sold 68,849 vehicles in the ⁠first three months of 2026, down ​from 75,758 units a year earlier.

Sales at its ​Trucks North America ‌business fell 25% to 29,432 units.

In ⁠March, CFO Eva Scherer warned that the impact ⁠from U.S. tariffs will be ​significantly higher in 2026, following the introduction of 25% duties ‌by President Donald Trump starting in ‌November last year.
