GERMANY: Truckmaker confident of increased sales

By | 31 January 2013

Daimler Trucks plans to increase sales this year despite the market downturn in Europe.

Chief executive Andreas Renschler said: he expects business to grow, particularly in the second half of 2013 with a good chance that higher sales could be achieved providing the euro zone crisis does not flare up again.

He declined to give a more specific sales forecast but said the truckmaker had sold as many vehicles between January and November 2012 as it had in the whole of 2011 when it sold 425,800 trucks.
