A Truck-Cartel Reckoning Is Still Looming for Daimler and Co.

If the number of lawyers is an accurate measure of the amount of money at stake, then Daimler Truck Holding AG and other co-conspirators in a former price-fixing cartel have every reason for concern.

About 130 lawyers and their supporting experts will descend on a conference hall at Munich’s fairgrounds on Monday for a week-long battle. The hearings are part of a series of legal disputes involving billions of euros in damage claims against companies including Volkswagen AG’s MAN, Volvo AB and Daimler, the parent of Mercedes-Benz trucks.
