Daimler Truck Holding AG and Volvo AB will face a retrial in a €560 million ($603 million) case over a price fixing cartel, a German appeals court ruled.

Judges in Munich overturned a previous ruling dismissing the case that’s seeking to make truckmakers pay for overcharging customers for their vehicles. Among the defendants are also Volkswagen AG’s MAN unit and Iveco Group NV.
