Its adjusted operating profit margin widened to 14.4% from 10.3% as price hikes made up for higher costs.
The company predicted the European and North American heavy truck markets would total 290,000 vehicles each in 2024.
"We expect our major truck markets to continue to be strong throughout this year as we continue to deliver from our large order books to customers, but (we) forecast lower market levels for next year," Lundstedt said.
