Grounding quotes
  • “Sales were $1,764,000,000, an increase of 5.7% from 2024. Growth was driven by significant outperformance throughout most of the year in the face of challenging global market conditions and from favorable pricing.”
  • “In the aftermarket, we have not seen a sustained improvement in overall freight activity and expect the market to continue at current levels and be relatively flat year over year.”
  • “In the heavy-duty market, our customers have indicated a weaker first half of the year, with recovery in the back half of the year.”
  • “We still expect, based on feedback from our customers—there has not been an official announcement or this being confirmed at this stage—we still expect the NOx standards to hold for the 2027 engine launch, and at that 35-milligram level.”
