Check whether you can claim compensation for historic truck purchases, leases, or rentals.
If your company, municipality, public body or organisation bought, leased, rented or operated new trucks of 6 tonnes or more between 1998 and 2014, your old fleet records may still support a compensation claim.
The Legalta Fleet Check takes around two minutes. No document upload is required for the first check.
The European Commission found that major truck manufacturers coordinated truck pricing and emissions-related costs over many years.
Many buyers and lessees paid more than they should have.
This may still matter even if the trucks are no longer in use, the vehicles were leased, the company has changed name, or the records are stored in old accounting or procurement archives.
The Legalta Fleet Check helps you find out whether it is worth taking the next step.
The Fleet Check may be relevant for any company, municipality, public body or organisation that bought, leased, rented or operated new trucks of 6 tonnes or more.
You do not need complete records to start. Partial information is enough for the first check.
Answer a few questions about your organisation, historic trucks, brands, purchase or leasing years, and available records.
We check whether your fleet history overlaps with the relevant claim criteria and whether the information is strong enough for deeper review.
If the case appears relevant, we ask for documents that help confirm the fleet history.
A purchase invoice, leasing agreement, fleet list, registration record or procurement file can be enough to start.
