Judgment in Case C-251/22 P Scania and Others v Commission
(Competition)
In its judgment of February 2, 2022 (T-799/17), the General Court dismissed Scania’s action for annulment of a European Commission decision. In this decision, the Commission found that Scania AB, Scania CV AB and Scania Deutschland GmbH, three entities of the Scania group active in the production and sale of heavy trucks for long- distance transport, had infringed the rules of Union law prohibiting cartels.
These infringements consisted in their participation, from January 1997 to January 2011, with their competitors, in collusive arrangements aimed at limiting competition on the market for medium and heavy trucks in the European Economic Area (EEA). The Commission imposed a fine of €880,523,000 on Scania.
Scania has appealed against the judgment of the General Court to the Court of Justice.

Urteil des Gerichtshofs in der Rechtsmittelsache C‑251/22 P Scania u. a. / Kommission
LKW-Kartell
Mit Beschluss vom 27. September 2017 verhängte die Kommission eine Geldbuße in Höhe von 880 Mio. Euro gegen den Lkw-Hersteller Scania. Scania habe über 14 Jahre hinweg mit fünf anderen Lkw-Herstellern die Verkaufspreise für Lastkraftwagen abgesprochen und vereinbart, die Kosten für neue Technologien zur Einhaltung der strengeren Emissionsvorschriften an die Kunden weiterzugeben. Mit den anderen Kartellteilnehmern (MAN, DAF, Daimler, Iveco und Volvo/Renault) hatte die Kommission 2016 einen Vergleich geschlossen, Scania hatte sich dagegen entschieden (siehe Pressemitteilung der Kommission IP/17/3502).
Scania hat den Beschluss der Kommission vor dem Gericht der EU angefochten, ohne Erfolg: Mit Urteil vom 2. Februar 2022 wies das Gericht die Klage ab (siehe Pressemitteilung Nr. 20/22). Scania hat daraufhin ein Rechtsmittel beim Gerichtshof eingelegt, der heute sein Urteil verkündet. Ohne Schlussanträge.
