Daimler Truck Group is reporting global sales growth across all segments despite bottlenecks in the supply of components during 2022.

Group sales of trucks and buses in 2022 increased significantly by 14.2% to 520,291 vehicles, up from 455,445 units in 2021.

Daimler Truck divides its operation into four segments – Trucks North America, Mercedes-Benz, Trucks Asia and Daimler Buses.

The Trucks North America segment increased its unit sales by 15.2% to 186,779 units, driven by a high product demand. The segment Mercedes-Benz also recorded a strong growth in unit sales to 166,369 units (+17.7%).

Trucks Asia increased its unit sales by 8.8% compared to the previous year to 155,967 units. Daimler Buses recorded a strong sales result of 24,041 units (+28.3%). 

“We have concluded our first year as an independent company with an expected strong sales result underlining our strong market position,” says Martin Daum, CEO of Daimler Truck Holding AG. 

“Despite the challenging macro-economic situation in 2022, all our segments could increase the sales of trucks and buses. This is a joint success of the entire Daimler Truck team.”

At its virtual Annual Results Conference on March 10, Daimler Truck will report in detail on financial and non-financial key figures of the fiscal year 2022 at Group and segment level and present its forecast for the current fiscal year 2023.
