DaimlerChrysler sold more trucks last year than ever before. At 537,000 units, truck sales by the company were 1.4% higher than in 2005 (529,500 units). On the one hand, the DaimlerChrysler Truck Group could profit from a high market level in the Triad, mainly caused by pre-buy effects in response to new emissions limits in the U.S. and Japan. On the other hand, the Truck Group’s five brands offering a full range of attractive models and innovative products such as the Blue-Tec diesel system contributed to this success.
