Medium-duty (6 to 16 tons) or heavy-duty (over 16 tons) trucks that were either purchased, leased, or rented in the EU or EEA area between 2005 and 2011. The legal form of the claimant (legal entity/natural person) is irrelevant.

Since the first expert opinions in 2019 also identified Euro standard damages in the period after 2011, there is also a possibility for a claim for damages in this regard. To this end, AdvoFin is currently pursuing model lawsuits to establish a secure legal precedent.

Participation in our collective action is free of charge and risk-free for you! AdvoFin bears the costs of the proceedings (both judicial and extrajudicial) and, in case of success, receives a compensation of 34% of the proceeds generated.

Certainly. After you contact us and submit the required documents, AdvoFin’s employees will review your claims free of charge and directly discuss the possible next steps with you.

Participation in our collective action concerning the truck cartel is possible from 8 cartel-affected trucks (purchased/leased/rented between 2005 + 2011).

No. AdvoFin bears the cost risk entirely. You incur no costs or risks as a result.

Our employees will work with you to gather the necessary information and review the document requirements. In brief, to pursue your claims, proof is required that you/your company acquired a cartel-affected truck during the relevant period (purchase agreement/invoice). Additionally, we require relevant documents from after the cartel period (up to the present day) so that the appointed experts can determine the cartel surcharges through a comparative calculation. However, we would be happy to explain the details regarding the required data in a personal consultation.

Yes. An out-of-court settlement with the opposing party is also conceivable and has been achieved multiple times through out-of-court compromises.

The reason for this are the currently applicable statutes of limitations in cartel law. Due to the existing “absolute limitation period” for claims for damages in cartel law, we can only assert claims for damages from January 1, 2005, onwards for you.

Our clients regularly receive information about their proceedings via email or post. Furthermore, you can stay informed in our news sections and on our social media channels.
