Daimler sold a total of 2.1 million vehicles in 2007 (2006: 2.1 million). The Mercedes-Benz Cars division increased its unit sales by 3% to the new record figure of 1,293,200 vehicles. As expected, due to significant market downturns in North America and Japan, sales of 467,700 vehicles by the Daimler Trucks division did not equal the record unit sales of the prior year (-9%). The Mercedes-Benz Vans unit increased its unit sales by 13% and Daimler Buses also surpassed its high prior-year figure (+8%). Daimler Financial Services restructured its business in North America following the separation from Chrysler’s operations; its overall business development was stable.
