Oct 29 (Reuters) - Volkswagen's truck unit Traton 8TRA.DE reported on Wednesday a 39% drop in adjusted operating profit for the first nine-months of 2025, citing lower sales revenue, negative currency effects and the impact from tariffs.

The truckmaker said its adjusted operating profit fell to 2 billion euros ($2.33 billion) in the January-September period, compared with 3.3 billion euros the same period last year.

The adjusted operating profit in Traton's U.S. division international motors fell to 1.6% in the first nine-months from 6.3% a year ago.
