Daimler is threatened with a payment of damages because of a price cartel in the sale of garbage trucks to the Lower Saxony district of Northeim. According to a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on Monday, the garbage trucks were affected by illegal agreements that led to higher purchase prices. The background to the claim for damages is a decision by the EU Commission from July 2016, in which Daimler and other truck manufacturers were fined a total of almost three billion euros for price fixing. The district of Northeim then sued Daimler for damages. The case is now returning to the Hanover Regional Court.
