Benefitting out of recovery in most important markets, especially in the first half of 2021, Daimler Truck significantly increased its group sales to 455,000 units.
According to a press statement from the company, the group sold approximately 20% more trucks and buses worldwide in 2021 compared to the previous year.
While demand remained strong across core markets during the second half, supply constraints slowed production and constrained volume growth, especially for heavy-duty vehicles in the US and Europe, the company said.
Newly independent Daimler Truck will report unit sales figures based on the industrial business segments presented at its Capital Market Day on November 11, 2021, Mercedes-Benz, Trucks North America (Freightliner, Western Star, Thomas Built Buses), Trucks Asia (FUSO, BharatBenz) and Buses (Mercedes-Benz & Setra). The statement said that all segments achieved the volume targets set at the Capital Market Day, despite the worsening semiconductor situation towards the end of the year.
At its annual results conference on March 24, 2022, Daimler Truck will present detailed financial and non-financial key figures at group and segment level and give its forecast for the current fiscal year 2022, the statement added.
