The leading market position in Germany and Europe is further strengthened. Nevertheless, the Daimler bus division had registered in the second quarter in the German market a significant drop in sales, said yesterday the manager since April for bus company Daimler Till Oberwörder. The domestic sites Neu-Ulm (coaches) and Mannheim (city bus) were still well used. "It was a decent second quarter," said Oberwörder. The decline in sales and results is also due to an "unfavorable mix". For example, Daimler sold less lucrative complete buses than chbadis worldwide.
The fall from 800 to 700 units in Germany is mainly due to the demand for long distance buses, which were otherwise requested in the first half. The use in the factory Neu-Ulm, in which currently work 3870 people, however, is "very stable". Oberwörder is expecting a boost from the new Setra S 531 DT double decker bus. "The mbad production of our flagship product has begun, which makes us very positive for the second half of the year." Many orders for the new model have already been received at the factory. In the city bus sector, Daimler is counting on the first electric Citaro to be deployed in series this year. "We expect sales to increase in the second half of the year."
