A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance Rules), any Dealer

maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) pursuant to article 36 of Regulation (EU)
2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016, as amended (the Benchmark Regulation).

the registration status of any administrator.
In this Prospectus, all references to , EUR or euro are to the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of the
European economic and monetary union, and defined in article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May
1998 on the introduction of the euro, as amended. U.S. dollars, USD or $ refer to the lawful currency of the United
States.
Tranches of Notes may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, such rating and the respective rating
agency will be specified in the relevant Final Terms. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold Notes and
may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
To the extent not otherwise indicated, the information contained in this Prospectus on the market environment,
market developments, growth rates, market trends and competition in the markets in which the Group operates is
taken from publicly available sources, including, but not limited to, third-party studies or the Group's own estimates
that are also primarily based on data or figures from publicly available sources. The information from third-party
sources that is cited here has been reproduced accurately. As far as the Issuers are aware and are able to ascertain
from information published by such third-party, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced
information published inaccurate or misleading.
This Prospectus also contains estimates of market data and information derived from these estimates that would not
be available from publications issued by market research firms or from any other independent sources. This
information is based on the Group's internal estimates and, as such, may differ from the estimates made by the
Group's competitors or from data collected in the future by market research firms or other independent sources. To
the extent the Issuers derived or summarized the market information contained in this Prospectus from a number of
different studies, an individual study is not cited unless the respective information can be taken from it directly.
The Issuers have not independently verified the market data and other information on which third parties have based
their studies or the external sources on which the Issuers' own estimates are based. Therefore, the Issuers assume no
responsibility for the accuracy of the information on the market environment, market developments, growth rates,
market trends and competitive situation presented in this Prospectus from third-party studies or the accuracy of the
information on which the Issuers' own estimates are based. Any statements regarding the market environment, market
developments, growth rates, market trends and competitive situation presented in this Prospectus regarding the
TRATON GROUP and its operating divisions are based on own estimates and/or analysis unless other sources are
specified.
The information of any website included in the Prospectus, except for the website www.bourse.lu in the context of
the documents incorporated by reference, does not form part of the Prospectus and has not been scrutinized or
approved by the CSSF.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. A forward-looking statement is a statement that does
not relate to historical facts and events. They are based on analyses or forecasts of future results and estimates of
amounts not yet determinable or foreseeable. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of terms
and phrases such as "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "predict",
"project" and similar terms and phrases, including references and assumptions. This applies, in particular, to
statements in this Prospectus containing information on future earning capacity, plans and expectations regarding the
TRATON GROUP's business and management, its growth and profitability, and general economic and regulatory
conditions and other factors that affect it.
-6-

Forward-looking statements in this Prospectus are based on current estimates and assumptions that the Issuers make
to the best of their present knowledge. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other
factors which could cause actual results, including the TRATON GROUP's financial condition and results of
operations, to differ materially from and be worse than results that have expressly or implicitly been assumed or
described in these forward-looking statements. The TRATON GROUP's business is also subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties that could cause a forward-looking statement, estimate or prediction in this Prospectus to become
inaccurate. Accordingly, investors are strongly advised to read the following sections of this Prospectus: "2 Risk
Factors", "3.1 TRATON SE", "3.2 TRATON Finance Luxembourg S.A." and "4 Business of the TRATON GROUP".
These sections include more detailed descriptions of factors that might have an impact on the TRATON GROUP's
business and the markets in which it operates.
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, future events described in this Prospectus may not occur. In
addition, neither the Issuers nor the Dealers assume any obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward-
looking statement or to conform these forward-looking statements to actual events or developments.
ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
This Prospectus contains certain alternative performance measures (APMs) such as equity ratio, gross liquidity, net
financial debt, operating return on sales of the TRATON GROUP that are not required by, or presented under the
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS). The management of the
TRATON GROUP uses these APMs internally to benchmark performance over time and against peers/competitors.
These APMs, however, are not defined under, or prepared in accordance with IFRS, and may be calculated differently
within other industries and even by the TRATON GROUP's competitors within the commercial vehicle industry.
Additionally, the APMs presented by the TRATON GROUP in this Prospectus are unaudited. Such APMs must be
considered only in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial information prepared in accordance
with IFRS included or incorporated by reference elsewhere in the Prospectus. Investors are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these APMs and are also advised to review them in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements including the related notes.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
1.1
General
Under this EUR 12,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Program, the relevant Issuer may from time to time issue Notes to
one or more of the following dealers: Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., Banco Santander, S.A., Barclays
Bank Ireland PLC, BNP Paribas, BofA Securities Europe SA, Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG,
Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Danske Bank A/S, Deutsche
Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, Mizuho Securities Europe GmbH, Morgan Stanley
Europe SE, Nordea Bank Abp, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), Société Générale, Swedbank AB
(publ) and UniCredit Bank AG and any additional dealer appointed under the Program from time to time by the
Issuer(s), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis (together, the Dealers).
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft acts as arranger in respect of the Program (the Arranger).
Banque Internationale à Luxembourg S.A. acts as listing agent (the Listing Agent).
Citibank Europe plc will act as fiscal agent (the Fiscal Agent) and paying agent (the Paying Agent).
The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes from time to time outstanding under the Program (the
Program Amount) will not exceed EUR 12,000,000,000 (or equivalent in another currency). The Issuers may
increase the Program Amount in accordance with the terms of the dealer agreement from time to time. If the
Issuers decide to increase the amount of the Program, a supplement to the Prospectus will have to be prepared and
published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
The Issuers intend to have the Program rated and expect a rating of BBB-1 from S&P Global Ratings Europe
Limited (S&P) and Baa12 outlook negative from Moody's Deutschland GmbH (Moody's).
S&P and Moody's are established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies, as amended (the
CRA Regulation).
1.2
Issue of Notes
Notes issued by TFL will have the benefit of a Guarantee given by TRATON. The Guarantee constitutes an
irrevocable, unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Guarantor ranking pari passu with all other unsecured
and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantor unless such obligations are accorded priority under mandatory
provisions of statutory law.
Notes may be issued on a continuous basis in Tranches, each Tranche consisting of Notes which are identical in
all respects. One or more Tranches, which are expressed to be consolidated and forming a single series and are
identical in all respects, but which may have different issue dates, interest commencement dates, issue prices and
dates for first interest payments may form a series (Series) of Notes. Further Notes may be issued as part of
existing Series.
Notes will be issued in such denomination as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s)
and as indicated in the applicable Final Terms save that the minimum denomination of the Notes will be, if in
euro, EUR 100,000, and, if in any currency other than euro, an amount in such other currency of at least
EUR 100,000 at the time of the issue of Notes.

1 According to the definition published by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited on its homepage BBB means "An obligation rated 'BBB'
exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation." The ratings from 'AA' to 'CCC' may be modified by
the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
2 According to the definition published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Moody's Analytics, Inc. and/or their affiliates and licensors on
its homepage: "Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain
speculative characteristics." Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa.
The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category.
-9-

Subject to any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions and requirements of relevant central banks, Notes may
be issued in any currency agreed by the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) and as indicated in the relevant
Final Terms.
Notes may be issued at an issue price, which is at par or at a discount to, or premium over, par, as stated in the
relevant Final Terms. The issue price for Notes to be issued will be determined at the time of pricing on the basis
of a yield which will be determined on the basis of the orders of the investors which are received by the Dealers
during the offer period. Orders will specify a minimum yield and may only be confirmed at or above such yield.
The resulting yield will be used to determine an issue price, all to correspond to the yield.
The yield is calculated in accordance with the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) method and based
on the issue price of the Notes. The ICMA method determines the effective interest rate of notes taking into
account accrued interest on a daily basis.
The specific terms of each Tranche will be set forth in the applicable Final Terms. The Final Terms of Notes listed
on the official list and admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will be
displayed on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu). In the case of Notes listed on any

other stock exchange in one or more member states of the European Economic Area other than the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg, the Final Terms will be displayed on the website of TRATON (www.traton.com).
1.3
Distribution of Notes
The Notes are freely transferable in accordance with the rules and regulations of the relevant clearing system.
Notes will be issued with a maturity of twelve months or more.
1.4
Listing and Admission to Trading
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under this Program to be listed
on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the regulated market of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
The Program provides that Notes may be listed on other or further stock exchanges, as may be agreed between
the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) in relation to each issue. Notes may further be issued under the
Program which will not be listed on any stock exchange.
