2024 Executive Board remuneration system Component Composition Target Variable remuneration components Profit bonus – Plan type: target bonus – Minimum payment amount: €0 – Cap: 200% of the target amount – Assessment period: profit bonus fiscal year (year for which the bonus is granted) – Performance criteria: o Financial subtargets: • Operating return on sales (50%) and net cash flow (50%) o Operating return on sales is the ratio of operating result in the TRATON GROUP before tax and excluding adjustments to the corresponding sales revenue. o Net cash flow comprises net cash provided by/used in operating activities and net cash provided by/used in investing activities attributable to operating activities in the TRATON Operations business area and indicates the excess funds from operating activities in the reporting period. • The Supervisory Board defines threshold, target, and maximum values for the financial subtargets for the profit bonus fiscal year. The threshold corresponds to a subtarget achievement of 50% for the operating return on sales subtarget and of 0% for the net cash flow subtarget, the target value corresponds to a subtarget achievement of 100% in each case, and the maximum value corresponds to a subtarget achievement of 180% in each case; interim values are interpolated on a linear basis. • The profit bonus depends on target achievement in the profit bonus fiscal year. • Total financial target achievement = subtarget achievement operating return on sales x 50% + subtarget achievement net cash flow x 50% o ESG targets • Environmental subtarget (ratio of the number of battery electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles sold to the total number of vehicles sold, excluding the MAN TGE model) weighted at 50% • The Social subtarget (generally the opinion index; the gender index 1 for fiscal years 2024 and 2025), weighted by 50% • Governance factor (compliance and integrity) of between 0.9 and 1.1 (normal value 1.0) • The Supervisory Board defines minimum, target, and maximum values for the Environmental and Social subtargets for each fiscal year. The minimum, target, and maximum values correspond to subtarget achievement of 0.7, 1.0, and 1.3, respectively. Interim values are interpolated on a linear basis. • Calculation of the ESG factor: [Environmental subtarget achievement x 50% + Social subtarget achievement x 50%] x Governance factor (0.9–1.1) – Profit bonus payment amount = individual target amount x financial target achievement x ESG factor – Payout: generally in cash in the month following approval of the consolidated financial statements for the profit bonus fiscal year The profit bonus is intended to motivate the Executive Board members to pursue ambitious targets during the assess - ment period. The financial performance targets support the strategic target of achieving competitive earnings power. The integration of sustainability targets reflects the significance of the Environ - mental, Social, and Governance factors. 1 The calculation and application of the gender index is subject to applicable local law. 310 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 311 ===== 2024 Executive Board remuneration system Component Composition Target Long-term incentive (LTI) – Plan type: performance share plan – Performance period: in principle, forward-looking four-year term – Minimum payment amount: €0 – Cap: 250% of the target amount – Allocation of performance shares: at the start of each fiscal year, the individually agreed target amount is divided by the arith - metic mean of the TRATON SE share price (German Securities Identification Number: TRAT0N) in the Xetra trading system of Deutsche Börse AG on the last 30 trading days prior to January 1 of the respective performance period (initial reference price). – Target setting: at the start of the performance period, the Supervisory Board defines minimum, target, and maximum values for earnings per share (EPS), the audited diluted earnings per TRATON share for continuing and discontinued operations. The minimum, target, and maximum EPS values correspond to target achievement of 50, 100, and 175%, respectively. – Calculation of the payment amount: the final number of performance shares is calculated by multiplying the number of performance shares conditionally allocated at the start of the performance period by the arithmetic mean of the annual EPS target achievement figures during the performance period. The final number of performance shares is then multiplied by the sum of the arithmetic mean of the closing prices on the last 30 trading days prior to the end of the performance period (closing reference price) and the dividends paid per share during the performance period (dividend equivalent). – Payout: generally in cash in the month following approval of the consolidated financial statements for the last fiscal year of the respective performance period – If the employment contract ends before the end of the performance period due to a bad leaver case (extraordinary termination for cause or revocation of appointment due to a gross breach of duties, resignation, termination without cause by the person concerned, a breach of a contractual or post-contractual restraint on competition), all performance shares will be forfeited. The long-term incentive serves to align the remuneration of the Executive Board members to the Company’s long- term performance. The financial performance target EPS in conjunction with share price performance and the dividends paid, measured over four years, ensures the long-term effect of the behavioral incentives and supports the strategic target of achieving competitive earnings power. Other benefits Special payment – If applicable, based on a separate agreement with the Executive Board member – The agreement is made in advance for the fiscal year and defines performance criteria for the special payment. Special payments can reward outstand - ing performance and may only be granted if it is in the Company’s interest to do so and generates a forward-looking benefit for the Company. Benefits agreed with new Executive Board members for a defined period of time or for the entire term of their em - ployment contracts – Optional payments to compensate for declining variable remuneration or other financial disadvantages – Optional benefits in connection with relocation – Optional minimum remuneration guarantee These (compensation) payments are intended to enable the Company to attract qualified candidates for the Executive Board. 311 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 312 ===== 2024 Executive Board remuneration system Component Composition Target Other remuneration provisions Penalty and clawback – The possibility for the Supervisory Board to reduce profit bonuses and the performance share plan by up to 100% or to claw back the remuneration that has already been paid in the case of relevant misconduct during the respective relevant assess - ment period – Clawback is excluded if more than three years have passed since the variable remuneration component was paid out. The aim is to motivate Executive Board members to maintain lawful and ethical conduct. Maximum remuneration – The relevant components are the base salary paid for the respective fiscal year, the service cost for occupational retirement provision, the fringe benefits granted, the profit bonus granted for the respective fiscal year and paid out in the following year, the performance share plan paid out in the respective fiscal year and for which the performance period ended immediately before the respective fiscal year, any special payment granted for the respective fiscal year, and any benefits granted to new Executive Board members. – Amounts to €8,500 thousand gross per fiscal year for the Chair of the Executive Board and generally €5,000 thousand gross per fiscal year for the members of the Executive Board. – The maximum remuneration for Executive Board members who are also members of the Executive Board of a foreign subsidi - ary consists of the total remuneration from TRATON SE together with that from the respective subsidiary. – If the maximum remuneration is exceeded, the variable remuneration components will be reduced on a pro rata basis. The aim is to ensure that the remunera - tion of Executive Board members is not inappropriately high when measured against the peer group. Remuneration of the Executive Board members appointed in fiscal year 2024 Members of the Executive Board in fiscal year 2024 On the one hand, the Executive Board of TRATON SE is made up of members who are also members of the Executive Board of a foreign subsidiary and receive their remuneration proportionately from TRATON SE and from the respective foreign subsidiary. On the other, it consists of members who are only members of the Executive Board of TRATON SE or also members of the Executive Board of a German subsidiary. These Executive Board members are remunerated entirely by TRATON SE; if they hold an additional Executive Board function at a German subsidiary, part of their remuneration will be reimbursed by way of intercompany charging. The members of the Executive Board generally receive no additional remuneration for discharging further mandates in the management bodies, supervisory boards, or comparable bodies of other Group companies in the course of their board activity. Should such remuneration be granted nonetheless, it will be offset against the remuneration for the activity as a member of the Executive Board of TRATON SE. In fiscal year 2024, the Executive Board of TRATON SE had the following members: Christian Levin: Mr. Levin has been a member of the Executive Board since the effective date of the change of legal form of TRATON AG to TRATON SE on the day this was entered in the commercial register in 2019, and has been the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Executive Board since October 1, 2021. Mr. Levin has also been Chief Executive Officer of Scania AB and Scania CV AB since May 1, 2021. Since October 1, 2021, the remu- neration has been divided between TRATON SE and Scania CV AB based on areas of responsibility. Since May 1, 2021, Mr. Levin has received fringe benefits and occupational retirement provision solely from Scania CV AB. Mathias Carlbaum: Mr. Carlbaum has been a member of the Executive Board since Octo- ber 1, 2021, and, in addition, Chief Executive Officer and President of International (formerly Navistar) from September 1, 2021, to September 30, 2024, on the basis of a secondment agreement between him, Scania CV AB, and International. The secondment ended on October 1, 2024, and since then Mr. Carlbaum has been employed directly by International in addition to his employment contract with TRATON SE. Since October 1, 2021, 20% of his fixed and variable remuneration has been borne by TRATON SE and 80% by International. 312 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 313 ===== The fringe benefits for Mr. Carlbaum are borne by International. All pension expenses are borne by Scania CV AB, with which Mr. Carlbaum still has a dormant employment contract, and charged on to International. Antonio Roberto Cortes: Mr. Cortes has been a member of the Executive Board since the effective date of the change of legal form of TRATON AG to TRATON SE on the day this was entered in the commercial register in 2019, and is also Chief Executive Officer of Volkswagen Truck & Bus Latin America Indústria e Comércio de Veículos Ltda. (Volkswagen Truck & Bus), formerly MAN Latin America Indústria e Comércio de Veículos Ltda. Mr. Cortes received 20% of his fixed and variable remuneration from TRATON SE and 80% from Volkswagen Truck & Bus. Mr. Cortes receives fringe benefits and occupational pension benefits solely from Volkswagen Truck & Bus. Dr. Michael Jackstein: Dr. Jackstein has been a member of the Executive Board of TRATON SE since April 1, 2023. Catharina Modahl Nilsson: Ms. Modahl Nilsson has been a member of the Executive Board of TRATON SE since April 1, 2023. Ms. Modahl Nilsson has also been the CTO of TRATON AB since April 1, 2023. Ms. Modahl Nilsson received 20% of her fixed and variable remuneration from TRATON SE and 80% from TRATON AB. Ms. Modahl Nilsson receives fringe benefits and occupational pension benefits solely from TRATON AB. Alexander Vlaskamp: Mr. Vlaskamp has been a member of the Executive Board since November 25, 2021, and is also Chief Executive Officer of MAN Truck & Bus SE. Mr. Vlaskamp received no separate remuneration in fiscal year 2024 for his role at MAN Truck & Bus SE. The Supervisory Board of MAN Truck & Bus SE resolved to reimburse TRATON SE for 80% of the remuneration expenses by way of intercompany charging. Remuneration granted and owed in fiscal year 2024 In accordance with section 162 (1) sentence 1 of the AktG, the remuneration report must detail the remuneration granted and owed to each individual member of the Executive Board in the past fiscal year. Table overview The following tables show the remuneration actually received by the members of the Executive Board in fiscal year 2024. The time of actual payment is not significant. Corre - spondingly, the remuneration granted in 2024 includes the base salary paid in fiscal year 2024, the fringe benefits, and the profit bonus for fiscal year 2024 paid in the month fol - lowing approval of the Company’s 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements. In fiscal year 2024, the LTI with the 2021–2023 performance period was also paid out and is reported as remuneration granted. As the companies were not in arrears with the payment of remuneration components, the tables do not show any remuneration owed. The relative portions shown in the tables refer to the remuneration components “granted and owed” in the respective fiscal year in accordance with section 162 (1) sentence 1 of the AktG. They therefore include all benefits actually received by the members of the Exec - utive Board in the respective fiscal year, irrespective of which fiscal year they were paid for. The relative portions shown here are therefore not comparable with the respective relative portions of the fixed and variable remuneration components in total remuneration as contained in the description of the remuneration system in accordance with section 87a (1) sentence 2 no. 3 of the AktG. The portions shown in the remuneration system refer to the respective target values granted for the respective fiscal year, irrespective of the time at which the remuneration component in question is paid out. Pension expense is reported as service cost within the meaning of IAS 19. The service cost in accordance with IAS 19 does not constitute remuneration granted or owed within the meaning of section 162 (1) sentence 1 of the AktG as it is not actually received by the Executive Board member in the year under review. It also includes other pension benefits such as surviving dependents’ benefits and the use of company cars, as well as defined contribution pension plans where these are provided for under foreign legislation. The maximum remuneration is the maximum remuneration within the meaning of section 87a (1) sentence 2 no. 1 of the AktG in accordance with the remuneration system resolved by the Supervisory Board and approved by the Annual General Meeting. 313 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 314 ===== In addition, the employment contracts of the Executive Board members contain a penalty and clawback provision in accordance with the approved remuneration system. TRATON SE did not make use of these regulations in fiscal year 2024. To the extent that members of the Executive Board left during fiscal year 2024, only the portion of remuneration attributable to the period of their Executive Board appointment is shown in the following tables. If such Executive Board members receive remuneration for periods after the termination of their Executive Board appointment, e.g., in the case of an expiring employment contract, this is reported in the “Remuneration of former Executive Board members” section.

Dr. Jackstein will be reimbursed for the costs of accommodation at his regular place of work and for weekly family trips home. The Company pays the costs of a tax advisor for Mr. Vlaskamp. These benefits for the individual members of the Executive Board are included in the amounts reported as fringe benefits. Performance criteria for variable remuneration Profit bonus performance criteria Financial subtargets The following overviews show the values defined by the Supervisory Board for the thresh- old, target, and maximum values for the financial subtargets, namely operating return on sales and net cash flow for fiscal year 2024, and the actual values or target achievement. 2024 Operating return on sales Maximum value (180% target achievement) 11.0% 100% target level 7.0% Threshold value (50% target achievement) 4.0% Actual 8.9% Target achievement (in %) 137% Net cash flow Maximum value (180% target achievement) €3.19 billion 100% target level €2.2 billion Threshold value (0% target achievement) €1.54 billion Actual €2.83 billion Target achievement (in %) 151% Overall target achievement 144% The indicator relevant for calculating operating return on sales is operating result in the TRATON GROUP. The TRATON GROUP’s operating return on sales is the ratio of the TRATON GROUP’s operating result to its sales revenue. The figures for the TRATON GROUP’s oper- ating result and sales revenue reported in the Company’s annual report are applicable. Net cash flow comprises net cash provided by/used in operating activities and net cash provided by/used in investing activities attributable to operating activities in the TRATON Operations business area, and indicates the excess funds from operating activities in the reporting period. For the former members of the Executive Board Mr. Osterloh and Ms. Danielski, whose expiring employment contracts were not converted to the revised remuneration system, return on investment ( ROI) for the TRATON Operations business area including Corporate Items, which is determined by calculating the ratio of operating 317 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 318 ===== result after tax to annual average invested capital, continues to apply instead of net cash flow. The return on investment is based on an average tax rate of 30% and for 2024 on an average invested capital of €19,358 million. For the return on investment, the Supervisory Board has defined a threshold of 10.84%, corresponding to a subtarget achievement level of 50%, a target of 12.75%, corresponding to a subtarget achievement level of 100%, and a maximum of 18.49%, corresponding to a subtarget achievement level of 180%. For former Executive Board members Mr. Osterloh and Ms. Danielski, the operating return on sales is also based on the operating return on sales of the TRATON Operations business area including Corporate Items, for which, however, the same targets shown in the table were defined. In justified exceptional cases, the Supervisory Board can adjust the degree of subtarget achievement actually achieved for the net cash flow subtarget in order to ensure an assessment for this subtarget that is tied to actual performance. Justified exceptions include acquisitions that have a significant impact on net cash flow. The Supervisory Board did not exercise this option for fiscal year 2024. ESG targets For the Social subtarget, the Supervisory Board can choose either the opinion index criterion or the gender index criterion, or a combination of the two. The opinion index criterion is based on a suitable methodology, to be selected by the Supervisory Board, for measuring the development of employee satisfaction, whereas the gender index criterion is based on a suitable methodology, to be selected by the Supervisory Board, for measuring the development of the proportion of women in management positions in the TRATON GROUP companies. For fiscal year 2024, the Supervisory Board resolved to suspend the opinion index as an ESG factor for the Social subtarget because the methodology for measuring the opinion index is currently being revised and the targets are being recalibrated. Instead of the opinion index ESG factor, the Social subtarget for fiscal year 2024 takes into account the gender index 1 ESG factor, which is linked to the development of the percentage of women in management positions in TRATON GROUP companies and contributes to the advancement of women in the TRATON GROUP. For former Executive Board members Mr. Osterloh and Ms. Danielski, however, the opinion index ESG factor continues to apply as a contractual requirement. Since this value can no longer be determined, the Supervisory Board has set the subtarget achievement at 1.28% at its reasonable discretion. The Environmental subtarget is based on the decarbonization target. The decarbonization target is based on the ratio of the number of battery electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles sold to the total number of vehicles sold, excluding the MAN TGE model. The minimum, target, and maximum values for the Environmental subtarget are defined by the Supervisory Board for each fiscal year and are based in particular on the business plan to achieve a consistently high proportion of battery electric and fuel cell electric vehicles. The following overview shows the values defined by the Supervisory Board for the minimum, target, and maximum values for the Environmental subtarget and the Social subtarget for fiscal year 2024, and the actual values or target achievement in fiscal year 2024. Environmental (decarbonization target) in % 2024 Maximum value 1.46 100% target level 0.97 Minimum value 0.49 Actual 0.53 Subtarget achievement 0.73 Social (gender index 1) in % 2024 Maximum value 23.3 100% target level 21.5 Minimum value 19.7 Actual 23.2 Subtarget achievement 1.28 1 The calculation and application of the gender index is subject to applicable local law 318 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 319 ===== For fiscal year 2024, the Supervisory Board defined a normal value of 1.0 for the Governance factor, taking account of and assessing the performance of the Executive Board as a whole and the performance of the current individual members of the Executive Board. To deter- mine the Governance factor, the Supervisory Board assesses the collective performance of the Executive Board in the first step. In the second step, the Supervisory Board assesses the performance of each individual Executive Board member in terms of integrity and compliance. The Supervisory Board can increase the Governance factor to 1.1 or reduce it to 0.9 on the basis of the collective and individual assessment. If there are no special circumstances in a fiscal year, the Governance factor is 1.0 (normal value). The ESG factor for fiscal year 2024 is therefore 1.00, taking into account the achievement of the Environmental subtarget, the Social subtarget, and the Governance factor. The ESG factor for the former members of the Executive Board Mr. Osterloh and Ms. Danielski is 1.00. LTI performance criteria The four-year performance share plan has been in force since January 1, 2021, for all mem- bers of the Executive Board whose employment contracts have been newly entered into or extended since the Supervisory Board resolution on December 16, 2020. For members of the Executive Board already appointed at the time of the Supervisory Board resolution on December 16, 2020, a three-year performance period applied — until any contract extension. No active member of the Executive Board had a performance share plan with a three-year performance period in fiscal year 2024. For the description of the remuner - ation granted and owed from the performance share plan with the performance period 2021–2023, this means that no LTI payment amount is required to be disclosed for members of the Executive Board to whom a performance share plan with a four-year performance period already applied in 2021. EPS target values The following overviews show the minimum, target, and maximum values defined by the Supervisory Board at the beginning of the relevant 2021–2023, 2021–2024, 2022–2024, 2022–2025, 2023–2025, 2023–2026, 2024–2026, and 2024–2027 performance periods, and the actual values and target percentage achievement already achieved for individual years in the assessment period. The performance share plans for the 2021–2024, 2022– 2024, 2022–2025, 2023–2025, 2023–2026, 2024–2026, and 2024–2027 performance periods were not yet due and were not paid out in fiscal year 2024. They therefore do not represent remuneration granted or owed in fiscal year 2024.

There was no deviation from the valid remuneration system in fiscal year 2024. The profit bonus payments and the payments under the performance share plan for the 2021–2023 per - formance period were not reduced because the caps of 200% on the profit bonus target amount and 200% on the target amount for the performance share plan were not exceeded. Overall, the remuneration granted and owed to the members of the Executive Board in fiscal year 2024 did not exceed the maximum remuneration prescribed by the remuneration system. Benefits and defined benefits in connection with termination Benefits and defined benefits granted to members of the Executive Board in the event of early termination The Executive Board remuneration system and employment contracts of the members of the Executive Board prescribe termination periods and severance payments in the event of revocation of the appointment of a member of the Executive Board and the mutual termination of the Executive Board function. If an appointment is revoked without cause within the meaning of section 626 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB — German Civil Code), the employment contract will generally end after a period of twelve months. Other than in cases of cause justifying extraordinary termination of the employment contract by the Company, members of the Executive Board receive a severance payment in the amount of their gross remuneration for the remaining period of the employment contract, capped at twice the annual gross income. As a rule, the annual gross income used as the basis for calculating the severance payment consists of the base salary paid in the previous year plus the variable remuneration components defined for the previous year. The severance payment is paid in twelve equal monthly gross installments from the end of the employment contract. Contractual remuneration paid by the Company for the time between termination of the appointment and the end of the employment contract is offset against the severance payment. If a member of the Executive Board takes up a new position after termination of the appointment, the severance payment will be reduced by the income from the new position. If a post-contractual restraint on competition has been agreed, the severance payment will be offset against the waiting allowance. No severance payment will be made if the member of the Executive Board continues to work for the Company or for another Volkswagen Group company in the context of an employment contract. 321 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 322 ===== The members of the Executive Board are also generally entitled to retirement, disability, and surviving dependents’ benefits in the event of early termination of their appointment without having entered retirement (cf. the following section for further information), although the minimum plan assets will only be maintained as ratably reduced plan assets pursuant to sections 2 (1) and 2a (1) of the Gesetz zur Verbesserung der betrieblichen Altersversorgung (BetrAVG — German Occupational Pensions Act). Pursuant to section 2a (2) item 2a) of the Betr AVG, the maintained portion of the minimum plan assets is adjusted by 1% per annum from the Board member’s departure from the Company until the benefits fall due. Defined benefits granted to members of the Executive Board in the event of regular termination of their role TRATON SE generally grants retirement, disability, and surviving dependents’ benefits to the members of the Executive Board. As a rule, the agreed retirement benefits are paid when the Executive Board member reaches the age of 65. However, Executive Board members who are also members of the Executive Board of a foreign subsidiary of TRATON SE do not receive retirement benefits from TRATON SE but from the respective foreign subsidiary. TRATON SE manages the occupational pension plans for Executive Board members Dr. Jackstein and Mr. Vlaskamp, as well as the former Executive Board members Ms. Danielski and Mr. Osterloh, who left in fiscal year 2023. The occupational pension plans for the other members of the Executive Board are maintained by Scania CV AB (Mr. Levin and Mr. Carlbaum), TRATON AB (Mr. Levin and Ms. Modahl Nilsson), and Volkswagen Truck & Bus (Mr. Cortes). Entitlements to such benefits granted by TRATON SE are accumulated under a defined contribution system, the Capital Account Plan, with the value of benefits dependent upon the performance of certain fund indices. TRATON SE pays an annual contribution of 40% of the contractually agreed fixed remuneration in the calendar year. Executive Board members may elect to make contributions themselves out of their gross salary. Contributions and interest are held in individual capital accounts. The performance of the capital account is directly linked to the capital markets and is determined by a basket of indices and other suitable parameters. The risk of the investments is gradually reduced as the beneficiaries get older (life cycle concept). At retirement, the beneficiary may elect to receive the balance of the capital account, or at a minimum the total amount of the contributions, as a lump-sum payment, in installments, or as an annuity at an insurance rate valid as of the date of retirement. In the event of disability or death, the beneficiary is paid the accumulated account balance, or a minimum of €2,000 thousand. The following overview shows the individual pension entitlements of the members of the Executive Board and their cash value as of December 31, 2024, as well as the pension expenses incurred in fiscal year 2024, if applicable considering the special features of the applicable foreign legislation in each case. The measurement of post-employment benefits also includes other pension benefits such as surviving dependents’ benefits and the use of company cars, as well as defined contribution plans provided for by foreign legislation where pension expenses are incurred in the year under review. € thousand Cash value Pension expenses in fiscal year 2024 Christian Levin (Scania) 626 1,069 Mathias Carlbaum (Scania) 325 402 Antonio Roberto Cortes (Volkswagen Truck & Bus) – 256 Dr. Michael Jackstein (TRATON SE) 570 289 Catharina Modahl Nilsson (TRATON AB) – 446 Alexander Vlaskamp (TRATON SE) 990 265 In the event of the regular termination of their function, the members of the Executive Board who previously had a company car provided to them by TRATON SE may be able to continue using their company car under certain circumstances. These include the respective Executive Board member having held the function for a total of at least ten years, or having worked for the Company for a total of at least 15 years, or the Supervisory Board considering the provision of a company car in retirement to be appropriate and in the Company’s interest. There were no changes to the commitments explained in this section in fiscal year 2024. 322 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 323 ===== Benefits and defined benefits to members of the Executive Board who stepped down in fiscal year 2024 No members of the Executive Board of TRATON SE left the Executive Board in fiscal year 2024. No clawback in fiscal year 2024 TRATON SE did not claw back any variable remuneration components in fiscal year 2024 on the basis of the penalty and clawback conditions agreed with the members of the Executive Board. None of the circumstances justifying such a clawback existed. Remuneration of former Executive Board members In accordance with section 162 (1) sentence 1 of the AktG, the remuneration report must also detail the remuneration granted and owed to former members of the Executive Board. Remuneration granted and owed in fiscal year 2024 (individual) In accordance with section 162 (5) sentence 2 of the AktG, the obligation to report indi - vidually on the remuneration granted and owed to former members of the Executive Board extends to the remuneration granted and owed until the end of ten years after the fiscal year in which the former Executive Board member ended their role as a member of the Executive or Supervisory Board of TRATON SE. Table overview The following tables show the individual remuneration granted and owed in fiscal year 2024 to former members of the Executive Board who stepped down after fiscal year 2014. The profit bonuses for fiscal year 2024 paid out at the start of 2025 as well as the perfor - mance share plan with the 2021–2023 tranche paid out in fiscal year 2024 are treated as remuneration granted in fiscal year 2024 for both active and former members of the Executive Board.

Comparative presentation The following table shows a year-on-year comparison of the percentage change in remu- neration for the members of the Executive Board with the earnings performance of TRATON SE and with the average remuneration for employees on a full-time equivalent (FTE) basis. 325 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 326 ===== Earnings performance is calculated using the following earnings-related indicators of TRATON SE and the TRATON GROUP, which are published in TRATON SE’s annual report: the earnings after tax of TRATON SE in accordance with German GAAP. The TRATON GROUP’s operating return on sales corresponds to the ratio of the TRATON GROUP’s oper- ating result to the TRATON GROUP’s sales revenue, as reported in TRATON SE’s annual report. The development of the average remuneration of employees is shown on the basis of two indicators. First, the average remuneration of employees is calculated by adjusting TRATON SE’s personnel expenses as reported in the single-entity financial statements of TRATON SE to exclude the remuneration of the Group’s Executive Board members. The adjusted personnel expenses are divided by the number of TRATON SE employees (349.91 employees) on FTE basis as of December 31, 2024, excluding the members of the Group’s Executive Board (employees of TRATON SE). Second, the personnel expenses of the TRATON GROUP, as reported in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, adjusted to exclude the remuneration of the Group’s Executive Board members, are divided by the number of employees of the TRATON GROUP (total workforce of 109,820 in accordance with internal reporting, i.e., including performance-related wage-earners, salaried staff, and vocational trainees) (employees of the TRATON GROUP).

As part of this process, the Supervisory Board carries out a vertical comparison with the remuneration and employment conditions of the Company’s employees and a horizontal comparison with the remuneration and employment conditions of executive board members of other companies. In order to assess how customary the total remuneration of specific Executive Board members is compared to other companies, the Supervisory Board uses a peer group comparison method. This peer group is reviewed and adjusted on a regular basis, most recently in February 2024. The peer group currently comprises the following com- panies: Caterpillar Inc., Continental AG, Cummins Inc., Daimler Truck Holding AG, Deere & Company, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, Komatsu Kabushiki kaisha, Magna International Inc., Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, Paccar Inc., Schaeffler AG, Tata Motors Ltd., Thyssenkrupp AG, Volvo AB. The companies in the peer group were selected on the basis of their size, sector, and regional distribution, and reflect TRATON SE’s strategic business areas and most relevant competitors. To adequately reflect TRATON SE’s business model, competitors from the manufacturing industry and the mechanical and plant engineering sectors were selected in addition to companies from the automotive sector. The peer group comprises an appro- priate mix of listed companies from Europe, America, and Asia. In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, this peer group represents the specific competitive environment of TRATON SE on the sales market as well as on the recruitment market for top executives. Remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board Principles of Supervisory Board remuneration The remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board is regulated in Article 16 of the Articles of Association of TRATON SE. According to section 113 (3) of the AktG, the annual general meeting of a listed company must resolve on the remuneration of its supervisory board members at least every four years. Moreover, information must be provided about the remuneration system for supervisory board members. In preparing the resolution for the Annual General Meeting, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board review whether the remuneration, especially its amount and structure, is still in the interest of TRATON SE and whether it is commensurate with the tasks performed by the members of the Supervisory Board and with the position of TRATON SE. Based on this review, which was carried out under the supervision of a renowned, independent external remuneration consultant, the Supervisory and Executive Boards presented an adjusted remuneration system for the members of the Supervisory Board for approval at the Annual General Meeting on June 13, 2024. The remuneration was confirmed, and the adjusted remuneration system resolved on by 99.15% of the votes cast in the Annual General Meeting on June 13, 2024. The adjusted remuneration system came into force when the amendment to the Articles of Association was entered in the commercial register and is applicable retro - spectively for the first time for fiscal year 2024. Overview of the remuneration Remuneration components The remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board consists of annual fixed remuneration and an attendance fee. The fixed annual remuneration is €300 thousand for the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, €200 thousand for the Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board, and €100 thousand for each further member of the Supervisory Board. For their work on committees, the members of the Supervisory Board receive additional fixed annual remuneration per committee provided the committee has met at least once per year for the performance of its duties. The fixed annual remuneration is €100 thousand for the chair of a committee, €75 thousand for the deputy chair of a committee, and €50 thousand for each further member of a committee. No remuneration will be paid for membership of the Nomination Committee or the Mediation Committee within the mean- ing of section 27 (3) of the Mitbestimmungsgesetz (MitbestG — German Codetermination Act), should such a committee be established in the future. If a member of the Supervisory Board is a member of several committees, remuneration will be paid only for the two committee functions with the highest fixed annual remuneration. The remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board thus also complies with recommendation G.17 of the German Corporate Governance Code, which specifies that appropriate consideration be given to the greater investment of time required from the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board as well as from the chairs and members of the committees. The Supervisory Board members each receive an attendance fee of €1 thousand for attending a meeting of the Supervisory Board or of a committee. The attendance fee is paid only once, even if several meetings are held in one day. 327 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 328 ===== The fixed annual remuneration becomes due after the end of the Annual General Meeting that accepts or decides to approve the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year for which the remuneration is paid. The fixed annual remuneration will be reduced pro rata temporis if a member of the Supervisory Board or of a committee is not a mem- ber for the full fiscal year or does not hold the office of Chairman or Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board or chair or deputy chair of the committee for the full fiscal year. TRATON SE will reimburse any value-added tax that may be payable on the remuneration and expenses of Supervisory Board members. TRATON SE will also ensure that liability insurance with a deductible is taken out for the members of the Supervisory Board. Former members of the Supervisory Board of TRATON SE do not receive any further remu- neration for the period following the termination of office. How the remuneration contributes to promoting the long-term development of TRATON SE Both the structure and the amount of the remuneration received by the members of the Supervisory Board consider what is required of a member of the Supervisory Board of TRATON SE, especially the associated investment of time and the associated responsibil- ity. The remuneration is in line with standard market practice in terms of its structure, and the amount is commensurate with the tasks of the members of the Supervisory Board and with the position of TRATON SE, also in comparison with the remuneration of the members of the supervisory boards of other listed companies of a similar size in Germany. The remuneration makes it possible to attract suitable and qualified candidates as Super- visory Board members. Therefore, the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board contributes to enabling the Supervisory Board as a whole to exercise its governance role and advise the Executive Board appropriately and competently. The restriction to just one fixed remuneration is also in line with these Supervisory Board tasks. It is an incentive for the members of the Supervisory Board to ask appropriate questions when exercising their governance role and advising the Executive Board, without primarily focusing on the development of operational performance indicators. Together with the Executive Board, the Supervisory Board thus promotes the business strategy and long- term development of TRATON SE. Moreover, the restriction to just one fixed remuneration is in line with suggestion G.18 sentence 1 of the German Corporate Governance Code. Remuneration of Supervisory Board members in fiscal year 2024 Remuneration granted and owed to the Supervisory Board members in office in fiscal year 2024 The following table shows the members of the Supervisory Board of TRATON SE in office in fiscal year 2024 and the remuneration granted and owed to the individual members of the Supervisory Board in fiscal year 2024. Remuneration “granted and owed” has the same meaning as described for members of the Executive Board. The remuneration shown in the table therefore represents the amounts actually received in fiscal year 2024, i.e., the remuneration paid to the members of the Supervisory Board for their roles on the Supervisory Board in fiscal year 2024, even if the remuneration is not owed until the year following the end of the Annual General Meeting. 328 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 329 ===== Fixed remu - neration Work in the committees Attendance fees Total Remunera - tion from other Group appoint- ments 2024 2024 2024 2024 2024 € thou- sand in % € thou- sand in % € thou- sand in % € thousand € thousand Pötsch, Hans Dieter 300 73 100 24 12 3 412 0 Kerner, Jürgen 1, 4 155 67 64 28 12 5 231 20 Andersson, Ödgärd 100 93 0 0 8 7 108 0 Bechstädt, Torsten 1 100 54 75 40 12 6 187 0 Carlquist, Mari 2, 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Cavallo, Daniela 1 100 95 0 0 5 5 105 0 Döss, Dr. Manfred 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kilian, Gunnar 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kirchmann, Dr. Albert X. 100 93 0 0 8 7 108 20 Kuhn-Piëch, Dr. Julia 100 62 50 31 12 7 162 69 Lorentzon, Lisa 2, 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Luthin, Bo 2, 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lyngsie, Michael 2, 3, 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Macpherson, Nina 100 62 50 31 11 7 161 61 Porsche, Dr. Dr. Christian 100 62 50 31 12 7 162 69 Schmid, Dr. Wolf-Michael 100 92 0 0 9 8 109 0 Schnur, Karina 1 100 47 100 47 14 6 214 20 Sedlmaier, Josef 1 100 92 0 0 9 8 109 0 Wansch, Markus 1 100 92 0 0 9 8 109 20 Witter, Frank 100 47 100 47 12 6 212 0 1 These employee representatives have stated that they will transfer their Supervisory Board remuneration to the Hans Böckler Foundation in accordance with the guidelines issued by the German Confederation of Trade Unions (DGB). 2 Remuneration for fiscal year 2024 was waived in full. 3 In view of the waivers, the Executive Board of TRATON SE decided that it will make a contribution of €597 thousand to “Scanias Personalstiftelse 1996” after the 2025 Annual General Meeting. 4 Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board since June 13, 2024 5 Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board until the end of the Annual General Meeting on June 13, 2024 Comparative presentation The following table shows a year-on-year comparison of the percentage change in remu- neration for the members of the Supervisory Board with the earnings performance of TRATON SE and with the average remuneration for employees on FTE basis. Earnings performance is calculated using the following earnings-related indicators of TRATON SE and the TRATON GROUP, which are published in TRATON SE’s annual report: the earnings after tax of TRATON SE in accordance with German GAAP. The TRATON GROUP’s operating return on sales corresponds to the ratio of the TRATON GROUP’s operating result to the TRATON GROUP’s sales revenue, as reported in TRATON SE’s annual report. The development of the average remuneration of employees is shown on the basis of two indicators. First, the average remuneration of employees is calculated by adjusting TRATON SE’s personnel expenses as reported in the single-entity financial statements of TRATON SE to exclude the remuneration of the Group’s Executive Board members. The adjusted personnel expenses are divided by the number of TRATON SE employees (349.91 employees) on FTE basis as of December 31, 2024, excluding the members of the Group’s Executive Board (employees of TRATON SE). Second, the personnel expenses of the TRATON GROUP, as reported in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, adjusted to exclude the remuneration of the Group’s Executive Board members, are divided by the number of employees of the TRATON GROUP (total workforce of 109,820 in accordance with internal reporting, i.e., including performance-related wage-earners, salaried staff, and vocational trainees) (employees of the TRATON GROUP). 329 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 330 ===== Annual change in % 2024 compared with 2023 2 2023 compared with 2022 2 2022 compared with 2021 2 2021 compared with 2020 Supervisory Board remuneration 1 Pötsch, Hans Dieter 30.0% 1.6% 0.0% 0.3% Kerner, Jürgen 72.3% 2.0% –10.6% –18.8% Andersson, Ödgärd 3 83.4% – – – Bechstädt, Torsten 29.0% –0.7% 0.7% –1.4% Carlquist, Mari 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Cavallo, Daniela 4 17.1% –25.3% 73.9% – Döss, Dr. Manfred 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Kilian, Gunnar 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Kirchmann, Dr. Albert X. 24.5% –0.1% 4.0% 15.1% Kuhn-Piëch, Dr. Julia 18.4% 1.5% 27.2% –16.6% Lorentzon, Lisa 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Luthin, Bo 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Lyngsie, Michael 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Macpherson, Nina 17.0% –0.6% 0.0% –1.5% Porsche, Dr. Dr. Christian 17.3% 4.6% 25.3% 17.2% Schmid, Dr. Wolf-Michael 32.9% 0.0% 0.0% –1.2% Schnur, Karina 30.1% 24.3% –16.2% –16.0% Sedlmaier, Josef 5 34.6% – – – Wansch, Markus 4 25.8% 0.9% 43.7% – Witter, Frank 28.5% 0.0% 103.7% – Annual change in % 2024 compared with 2023 2 2023 compared with 2022 2 2022 compared with 2021 2 2021 compared with 2020 Earnings performance Earnings after tax of TRATON SE in accordance with German GAAP 6 – 316.6% – – Operating return on sales of the TRATON GROUP +0.9 pp +4.1 pp 8 +2.6 pp +0.9 pp Development of employee remuneration 7 Employees of TRATON SE 7.8% 21.7% 8 –7.0% 7.5% Employees of TRATON GROUP 5.3% 6.6% 0.5% 1.1% 1 Remuneration granted and owed within the meaning of section 162 (1) sentence 1 of the AktG 2 In accordance with the transitional provision of section 26j (2) sentence 2 of the EGAktG, only the average remuneration for the period from fiscal year 2020 and not the average remuneration for the past five fiscal years must be included in the comparison until the end of fiscal year 2025. 3 Joined in fiscal year 2023 4 Joined in fiscal year 2021 5 Joined in fiscal year 2022 6 Percentage change in earnings after tax of TRATON SE in accordance with German GAAP cannot be presented because there were negative earnings from fiscal year 2020 through fiscal year 2022. 7 Personnel expenses additionally adjusted for exceptional project profit sharing by selected managers in 2021 8 Correction after preparation of the 2023 Annual Report 330 Consolidated Financial Statements Sustainability StatementResponsibility Statement and Independent Auditor’s Reports Combined Management Report Further InformationTo Our Shareholders ===== SIDA 331 ===== Independent Auditor’s Report To TRATON SE We have audited the attached remuneration report of TRATON SE, Munich, prepared to comply with Sec. 162 AktG [“Aktiengesetz”: German Stock Corporation Act] for the fiscal year from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 and the related disclosures. Responsibilities of the executive directors and the supervisory board The executive directors and supervisory board of TRATON SE are responsible for the prepa ration of the remuneration report and the related disclosures in compliance with the requirements of Sec. 162 AktG. In addition, the executive directors and supervisory board are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a remuneration report and the related disclosures that are free from mate rial misstatement, whether due to fraud (i.e., fraudulent financial reporting and misap propriation of assets) or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this remuneration report and the related disclosures based on our audit. We conducted our audit in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] ( IDW). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the remuneration report and the related disclosures are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts in the remuneration report and the related disclosures. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the remuneration report and the related disclosures, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the preparation of the remuneration report and the related disclosures in order to plan and perform audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the pur pose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of account ing estimates made by the executive directors and supervisory board, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the remuneration report and the related disclosures. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Opinion In our opinion, on the basis of the knowledge obtained in the audit, the remuneration report for the fiscal year from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 and the related disclosures comply, in all material respects, with the financial reporting provisions of Sec. 162 AktG. Other matter – formal audit of the remuneration report The audit of the content of the remuneration report described in this auditor’s report comprises the formal audit of the remuneration report required by Sec. 162 (3) AktG and the issue of a report on this audit. As we are issuing an unqualified opinion on the audit of the content of the remuneration report, this also includes the opinion that the dis closures pursuant to Sec. 162 (1) and (2) AktG are made in the remuneration report in all material respects.
