Join the class action lawsuit against the truck cartel.
Get compensation for the purchase of your trucks.
Recognized experience
The satisfaction of our clients in this case has allowed us to win the first prize in competition law at the Palmarès du Droit in Bordeaux (2025 edition).
Significant compensation
Our economists have estimated a damage of more than €10,000 per eligible truck, all damages combined.
Optimized costs
We group dozens of carriers to share the costs of these extraordinary legal proceedings. Our success fee is only 10%.
An alternative offer
Our class actions following illegal agreements are innovative. They allow SMEs and ETIs to repair significant damages caused by these illegal practices.
Our philosophy is to optimize costs for our clients as much as possible (although these are complex legal proceedings), by grouping dozens of claimants in our actions.
This self-financing allows us to maintain our independence from investment funds, especially during negotiations.
It also allows us to apply success fee rates (10%) about three times lower than those offered by investment funds.
For groups of carriers who do not wish to bear the costs of these legal proceedings, we have funding partners with whom we can apply for funding.
Are you eligible?
You are eligible if you purchased a truck weighing between 6 and 16 tonnes ("medium utility vehicles") or weighing more than 16 tonnes ("heavy goods vehicles"), whether they are carriers or tractors, of the brands SACNIA, MAN, DAIMLER, IVECO, VOLVO, RENAULT and DAF during the period of the cartel (purchase made between 17 January 1997 and 18 January 2011).
All buyers of trucks are eligible: whether you are a carrier, a company carrying out transport on its own account, but also a local authority, a ministry, an administration, etc.
Since the final conviction of SCANIA on 1 February 2024, you have the possibility to claim compensation from SCANIA, but also from the 6 other brands concerned by the European Commission's decisions (DAIMLER, RENAULT, VOLVO, DAF, MAN and IVECO).
Our strength: an unprecedented economic study
The main difficulty of this type of case concerns the proof of damage and its quantification, which can only result from a complex and costly econometric study.
This is why claimants without solid economic studies have all been dismissed in France so far.
The Lex-Port firm works with economists registered as experts with the Paris Court of Appeal, specialized in competitive damages.
Our economists have written 3 economic reports in this case, based on the analysis of dozens of data relating to a sample of more than 7,000 trucks.
These 3 economic reports of several hundred pages answer all the complex econometric questions posed by this case.
By joining the Lex-Port firm collective, you benefit from an unprecedented economic study in France and already established.
Your trucks will be integrated into the initial study, which allows us to constantly consolidate the robustness of the data and results that we already have.
The compensable damages evaluated by our economists include the additional cost to acquire the trucks, overconsumption of fuel and delay interest.
