Edwin Coe’s Class Action team settles with third manufacturer in Trucks Cartel class action
London, July 10, 2025 – Edwin Coe is delighted to announce that its Class Action team has successfully reached settlement with a third truck manufacturer, Scania, in the ongoing Trucks Cartel class action, being heard at the Competition Appeal Tribunal. This settlement follows two previous settlements with Daimler and DAF. This milestone marks a significant step forward in seeking redress for the damages caused by the cartel.
The class action is led by Zahira Hussain, alongside David Greene. It comprises 140 clients, derived from a range of different sectors, from hauliers to breweries. The action has its origins in the European Commission’s findings in 2016 and 2017 that MAN, Volvo/Renault, Daimler, Iveco, DAF and Scania colluded on truck pricing for 14 years from 1997 to 2011.
Zahira commented on the success of the settlement: “I am thrilled with the progress we have made in this case. The settlements are a testament to the determination and resilience of our clients, who have come together to seek compensation for the loss they have suffered. Class actions play a crucial role in providing access to justice, especially for smaller businesses and sole traders that might otherwise struggle to challenge large corporations on their own. This case highlights the power of collective legal action in holding corporations accountable and in securing damages for Claimants.”
Edwin Coe’s pioneering Class Action team continues to lead the rapidly evolving field of class actions in the UK, backed by over 30 years of successful litigation. The team brought its first Truck Cartel claim on behalf of clients in the High Court in 2018, settling with two manufacturers in 2024, and a third in 2025. The team remains resolute in its commitment to securing justice for those affected. It continues to actively pursue the remaining aspects of the case.
