About the Tire Cartel Case

Unannounced Inspections

In 2024, the European Commission carried out unannounced inspections of several major tire manufacturers in Europe as part of an ongoing competition law investigation.

Potential Competition Law Violations

The Commission is examining concerns that certain tire manufacturers may have engaged in unlawful cartel behavior, potentially coordinating practices that led customers to overpay for replacement tires.

Potential Damages

If infringements are found by the European Commission, affected purchasers of replacement tires may have a claim to compensation.

TransAtlantis is a leading litigation financier and investor in Europe. TransAtlantis’ expertise, extensive funding and investment have helped bring together damages claims across Europe for victims of unfair practices in the trucking, agriculture, hospitality, consumer credit and financing sectors.

Why work with TransAtlantis

TransAtlantis was founded in 2017 to assist victims of the pan-European Truck Cartel.

 

In 2020, TransAtlantis formed the BGG to be the first association of affected farmers to support them in enforcing their claims for damages against the pesticide cartel.

 

From farmers to truck drivers, and individuals, TransAtlantis has experience fighting for compensation for thousands of citizens and companies  across Europe, who may have been impacted by the alleged tire manufacturing cartel.

TransAtlantis works with the leading legal and economic experts, unions and more to understand each case.

 

TransAtlantis’ resources and expertise enable them to often bring among the largest portfolio of claims to court. In litigation claims, the larger the plaintiff group frequently means the louder our voice and stronger our negotiating position.

 

Over 50,000+ claimants supported by TransAtlantis.

CASES

Other TransAtlantis Cases

Spanish Credit Usury

Join the thousands of citizens TransAtlantis is helping get the compensation they deserve

Revolving credit card issuers have been condemned by Spanish courts for charging unfair interest rates and having abusive terms and conditions. We believe that on average, Spanish consumers that use or have used a revolving credit card are typically entitled to claims of €12,000 or more. TransAtlantis created Justalia with its partners to organize one of the largest groups of plaintiffs for this case.

German Plant Pesticides

Join the 5000+ farmers fighting with BGG / TransAtlantis

In 2020, the German competition authority found several large pesticide wholesalers guilty of running a cartel. German farmers who purchased pesticides from 1998 – 2015 may be entitled to compensation from damage caused by anti-competitive wholesaler agreements, and many in our claim can typically expect claims for damages and interest of €20,000 or more, depending on their business. To fight against the pesticide wholesalers, TransAtlantis, LCHB and GQL formed the BGG.

French Meal Vouchers

Join restauranteurs, bakery owners, charcutiers, food merchants, & more fighting with TransAtlantis

In 2019, the French Competition Authority issued a €415m fine to meal voucher issuers for anti-competitive practices dating back to 2002. In a judgement rendered on November 16, 2023, the Paris Court of Appeal confirmed this infringement decision in all respects. We believe that businesses that accepted meal vouchers as payment are collectively entitled to hundreds of millions of euros in damages and interest.

EU Truck Cartel

See how TransAtlantis is helping thousands of truck owners fight for just compensation

TransAtlantis is seeking compensation for businesses and individuals who purchased or leased medium and heavy trucks between 1997-2011 and are victims of the EU Truck Cartel. With more than 40,000 claims, TransAtlantis is one of the largest plaintiffs in this action.
