TRATON GROUP Launches €850 Million in Green Financing for Electric Vehicles

TRATON GROUP has introduced its first Green Bond and Green Loan totaling €850 million, aimed at investing in battery-electric commercial vehicles. This marks a significant move within its recently established Green Finance Framework. The bond, valued at €500 million, comes with a 5.5-year maturity and a 3.875% fixed coupon, while a bilateral Green Loan adds €350 million to the initiative.

The bond issuance saw a high demand, with an order book 5.4 times its size, indicating strong investor interest. All proceeds are earmarked for clean transportation projects aligned with the Green Bond Principles of the ICMA. TRATON’s framework has achieved a "Dark Green" shading from S&P Global Ratings, showcasing its commitment to sustainable mobility.

A Green Finance Committee will oversee the project selections, with a comprehensive report on fund allocation planned within a year, enhancing how TRATON integrates industrial transformation into its financial strategy.
