Marine and Propulsion Sales Surge:
- The Marine and Propulsion segment saw a 23.9% year-over-year increase in sales, with record orders for Veth products.

Land-Based Transmissions Momentum:
- Land-based transmissions reported a 19.8% year-over-year sales increase, driven by strong demand for airport rescue and firefighting transmissions.
