Traton News Updates

International Motors will offer customers a choice of two engines for heavy-duty trucks in 2027, parent company Traton Group’s top executive confirmed Oct. 28.

Lisle, Ill.-based International sold 19,900 vehicles in the most recent quarter, compared with 13,400 trucks and buses in the year-ago period.

The platform will be deployed across Traton’s truck brands, including International, Scania, MAN and Volkswagen Truck & Bus.

VW holds an 87.5% stake in Traton. Its goal is to bring down the Traton holding to 75% plus one share to retain control.

International is investigating establishing a second production shift at its San Antonio assembly plant, a senior executive at parent company Traton Group said.

International may decide to stagger the introduction of model-year 2027 engines compliant with incoming NOx emissions regulations, the parent company's CEO said.

A spokesperson for International could not provide more details immediately, but testing of a camouflaged new cab may have been spotted in the spring.

International Motors’ sales fell 8% year over year in Q2 but climbed 21% compared with the first three months of 2026, parent company Traton Group said July 10.

The buyout firm will acquire a 51% stake in Everllence. VW said the deal will generate proceeds of about $8.4 billion and that it intends to keep a 49% stake in the medium term.

The most recent results were also hurt by $180 million in expenses related to an assembly plant sale and $19.9 million for severance payments in Q1.
