MUNICH - Dr. Arno Antlitz has been appointed as a member of the Supervisory Board of TRATON SE by the competent court, the company announced on September 29, 2025. Dr. Antlitz, who has served on Volkswagen AG's Group Board of Management since 2021 with responsibility for Finance and Operations, will represent shareholders on the board. His appointment strengthens the link between Volkswagen and its commercial vehicle subsidiary, TRATON SE, which owns brands including Scania, MAN, International, and Volkswagen Truck & Bus.
The appointment comes as TRATON continues to execute its strategy of "Transforming Transportation Together. For a sustainable world." Dr. Antlitz's financial expertise is expected to guide the company through its transition toward sustainable commercial vehicle solutions, including electric and autonomous technologies. As a member of the Supervisory Board, he will oversee management decisions and help shape long-term strategy.
Further details regarding Dr. Antlitz's curriculum vitae and other mandates are available on the TRATON website under The Supervisory Board of TRATON SE: CVs and photos.

TRATON SE, headquartered in Munich, is one of the world's leading commercial vehicle manufacturers. Its portfolio covers trucks, buses, and light-duty commercial vehicles across global markets. The addition of Dr. Antlitz to the Supervisory Board is seen as a move to bolster financial governance as the company navigates the capital-intensive shift to zero-emission vehicles and digital services.
Investors and analysts will watch for how Dr. Antlitz's experience at Volkswagen, where he has been instrumental in managing the group's finances during a period of significant investment in electrification, influences TRATON's priorities. The company's shares trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and this board change may signal a stronger emphasis on cost discipline and return on investment.
