Daimler Truck (ISIN DE000DTR0CK8) stock was trading at EUR 40.16 at 9:08 a.m. CET at Lang & Schwarz on October 28, 2026, 0.20 percent below the Xetra close of October 27, 2026 at EUR 40.24. The company is also advancing a battery-electric coach project that has reached a practical testing milestone.
According to Daimler Truck on October 14, 2026, Daimler Buses and its project partners completed a joint drive in Neu-Ulm using a technology demonstrator from the Electrified Coach project, known as ELCH. The project aims to develop a market-ready battery-electric coach with a range of more than 500 kilometers.
Why the coach project matters
The milestone moves the project from laboratory work toward practical validation. The partners are examining the drive system, battery, energy consumption, aerodynamics, lightweight construction, economic viability and suitability for long-distance coach operations.
The project is funded through a German government program with total funding of EUR 6.26 million. Daimler Buses coordinates the consortium with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the University of Mannheim, RPTU, Flix and other research and industry partners. The funded project is scheduled to continue until the end of 2026, while Daimler Buses aims to offer battery-electric coaches by the end of the decade.
Three dated operating signals
On September 24, 2026, Daimler Truck announced an agreement with Girteka covering 900 Mercedes-Benz Actros L ProCabin trucks, as listed in the company's newsroom. On October 8, 2026, the group reported third-quarter unit sales of 91,260 vehicles, compared with 72,277 in the prior-year quarter. The October 14, 2026 electric-coach milestone is the latest of the three developments.
Next reporting date
Daimler Truck's investor-relations page lists November 6, 2026, for the publication of third-quarter results. That report will provide the next company-wide financial checkpoint after the operating and technology updates.
