Summary
Daimler AG's commercial vehicle business is comprised of three divisions: Daimler Trucks, Mercedes-Benz Vans and Daimler Buses.
In 2012 Daimler Trucks expanded sales to 461,954 units, up 8.5% from 2011, while Mercedes-Benz Vans decreased sales by 4.5% y/y to 252,418 units and Daimler Buses dropped sales by 19.3% y/y to 32,088 units.
Daimler Trucks increased its unit sales as growth in the NAFTA region and Asia compensated the drop in Western Europe. Unit sales decreased in Western Europe by 5.5% from 61,000 units in 2011 to 58,000 units in 2012. Conversely, they increased in the NAFTA region by 18.4% y/y from 114,000 units to 135,000 units and in Asia by 21.3% y/y from 135,000 units to 164,000 units. In Latin America excluding Mexico, sales fell by 25.4% to 46,000 units from the previous year's brisk sales of 62,000 units.
Mercedes-Benz Vans dropped unit sales in Western Europe by 7.5% y/y to 165,000 units in 2012 and in Asia by 25.6% y/y from 18,000 units to 13,000 units in 2012.
Daimler Buses suffered from lower demands of buses in Latin America, where its sales fell from 25,000 units in 2011 to 18,000 units in 2012.
2015 sales targets are 500,000 units for Daimler Trucks, 400,000 units for Mercedes-Benz Vans and 40,000 units for Daimler Buses.
Daimler plans to promote use of common components in vehicles, reduce production costs through creating a global network among its production facilities, upgrade and increase models, and enhance sales in the existing markets as well as entering new markets.

Daimler Commercial Vehicle Divisions: 2012 Sales and 2013 forecasts
In 2012 Daimler Trucks sold 461,954 units, up 8.5% y/y. Unit sales declined in Western Europe as well as in Brazil, where Euro 5 replaced Euro 3 in 2012 and the rush demand for Euro 3 compatible trucks at the end of 2011 negatively affected sales in 2012. In the first half of 2012, sales expanded in the NAFTA region due to increased demand for replacement trucks. In Japan sales also increased in 2012 as a result of higher demand from the extensive reconstruction work due to the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. Mercedes-Benz Vans decreased sales by 4.5% y/y to 252,418, largely affected by low sales in its major market, Western Europe. Daimler Buses dropped sales by 19.3% due to weak sales in Latin America. According to Daimler, growth in the global truck market in 2013 is expected to be driven mainly by the demand in China, recovering from the drop in 2012. In North America, the OEM anticipates a decline of 5 to 10% because of the fiscal problems in the United States. As for the European truck market, it also expect demand to fall by up to 5% due to the ongoing weak economic environment. The Japanese market is assumed to be at about the prior-year level, due to the demand from reconstruction work. As for the Brazilian market, it expects 10% growth, judging from better economic prospects. Daimler Trucks, therefore anticipates moderate or even negative development in unit sales in early 2013 due to the difficult economic situation in its key markets, however, the introduction of Euro 6 scheduled for 2014 is expected to stimulate the purchase of the compatible trucks later in the year. Mercedes-Benz Vans plans to increase its unit sales by new model launches, market development outside Europe and expanded local production including collaboration with GAZ Group in Russia. Daimler Buses assumes increased unit sales through the continued "GLOBE 2013" business plan, aggressive sales through new model launches and demand growth in Brazil in advance of the soccer World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016. |
