Shaping Future Transportation

As we emerge from the deep downturn of 2009, we at Daimler Trucks can unequivocally say, Were back! Last year we posted positive results in all of our business units.

Global Excellence

The dramatic events in Japan came as a shock to all of us. It is still difficult to comprehend the magnitude of this catastrophe. We extend our deepest sympathies to the people in Japan, who will have to deal with the aftermath of these events. At this time, it is clear that our thoughts here at Daimler Trucks are with our colleagues at Daimler in Japan.

Six strong vehicle brands are concentrated under the Daimler Trucks umbrella. All over the world, we offer customized applications and pioneering technologies in our products.

Theyre a common sight on North American roads: the yellow school buses from Thomas Built Buses. North Americas leading school bus manufacturer can look back on a long and distinguished history. In fact, Thomas Built Buses has been the embodiment of innovative styling, safety, and top quality since 1916.

Trucks Europe/Latin America The Mercedes-Benz brand is a synonym for first-class product and service quality, cost-effectiveness, reliability, and sustainability, as summed up by slogan Trucks you can trust. Whether the vehicle required is for long-haul, distribution, or construction site operation, the Mercedes-Benz brand provides individual and reliable solutions in the medium and heavy-duty truck segment. For many decades now, the pioneering spirit at Mercedes-Benz Trucks has generated groundbreaking innovations from alternative drives to active and passive safety systems.

Trucks Asia The Fuso brand has made a name for itself worldwide as a qualityconscious manufacturer. Nowadays its reputation extends well beyond Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The vehicles developed and produced by Fuso are not only of high quality; they are also cost-effective and tailored to the requirements of their application areas. As a result, customers can totally rely on them, day after day. Fuso offers extremely customer-focused and comprehensive spare parts and workshop services for its trucks and buses. Today Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation is an integral part of Daimler Trucks. It plays an important role as the Asian pillar and competence center for light-duty trucks and state-of-the-art hybrid technology.

Trucks NAFTA The Freightliner Trucks brand, the main pillar of the Daimler Trucks North America business unit, manufactures trucks in the Class 58 segment. These vehicles cover a broad range of application areas in the commercial vehicle segment. In line with the Run Smart slogan, the company puts its faith in innovation, technology, and customerfocused activities. The Western Star brand offers premium-class heavy-duty trucks, primarily for use by owner-operators or small fleets. Western Star serves market niches such as special and construction site applications as well as long-haul transport. With their striking exteriors and ideal suitability for off-road applications, the vehicles are without a doubt serious trucks for serious truckers.

Daimler India Commercial Vehicles The introduction of the BharatBenz brand strengthens Daimler Trucks involvement in India and serves as the basis for introducing a local generation of trucks. The new brand offers customers a comprehensive product range in the weight classes from six to 49 tons, as well as solutions for various areas of application.

Global Excellence.
The Global Excellence program has been helping to define the strategic direction of Daimler Trucks since 2005. The program, which encompasses short, medium, and long-term objectives, has been conceived to promote efficiency increases and the implementation of economies of scale. Daimler Trucks has emerged from the downturn that occurred in the crisis year 2009 in good shape, thanks in large part to Global Excellence. Instruments such as flexible production capacity and working time models made it possible to adapt production at the commercial vehicle and component plants to significantly lower demand. The Global Excellence program encompasses four initiatives: Management of Market Cycles, Operational Excellence, Growth and Market Penetration, and Future Product Generations and Technologies. During the past year we have transformed strategic growth targets in emerging economies and traditional markets into operational projects with milestones. For example, we have expanded Daimler Trucks global production network to incorporate the Juiz de Fora plant in Brazil. In addition, Daimler Trucks has also very successfully implemented regional restructuring programs ahead of schedule. Management of Market Cycles The first initiative Management of Market Cycles is designed to lessen the impact on Daimler Trucks of the cyclical developments that are typical of the sector. This helps to ensure the long-term profitability of the Commercial Vehicles division. The commercial vehicle sector has to cope with strong cycles. The reasons for this include the fact that the vehicles are used in specific commercial contexts, the life cycles of vehicle fleets, exchange rate effects, developments affecting the global economy, and, in particular, emissions legislation. Operational Excellence The second initiative Operational Excellence concentrates on the rigorous reduction of material and fixed costs, the optimization and standardization of global processes, and the increased flexibility of production plants. The foundation here is the management system known as the Truck Operating System (TOS), which is based on the principle of lean management. TOS is designed to be used not only in production but also at all specialized units and departments. Daimler Trucks is also intensifying its efforts to generate further synergy effects and economies of scale by further networking its individual functions and embedding its products in an intelligent component-sharing strategy. 14 |

Growth and Market Penetration We intend to further expand and strengthen Daimler Trucks global presence. To this end it will be necessary to open up new markets with good growth opportunities, such as Russia, India, and China. We are employing different market penetration strategies that are suited to the respective market situations. In markets where we are already active, we want to further strengthen our presence and focus even more intensely on the customers needs. Our aim is to grow in terms of quality and quantity alike. We will use the market recovery to extend our market shares in the triad markets and in Brazil. In the future we will follow our emerging economies strategy of offering custom products aimed at the increasingly important upcoming modern domestic segment. By doing so we will support our sales growth in the emerging economies. We have created an own-vehicle brand for India in the form of BharatBenz, which will offer locally developed and manufactured products for exactly this segment. At the same time, Daimler Trucks is about to launch its greatest product campaign ever. Over the coming 24 months we will renew virtually all of our portfolio with more than 140 new products and powertrains. With Shaping Future Transportation: ValueDrive, we will also strengthen our range of services, aftersales activities, and mobility services. With the Get to 8! program, which addresses continual cost management and the further exploitation of synergy potential, Daimler Trucks aims to achieve an eight percent return on sales across the entire business cycle, beginning in 2013. The expansion of the companys global modular system will enable us to more effectively adapt products to local needs in emerging markets while also remaining highly efficient. As a result, new product generations will have an unprecedented level of commonality. Future Product Generations and Technologies Ensuring that future product generations offer innovations and even more value for customers is the strategic goal of the fourth initiative within the Global Excellence program. In this way, Daimler Trucks is underscoring its leadership regarding new technologies. This is clearly evident in the new product generation of the Mercedes-Benz Atego and Axor trucks. An important focus at Daimler is alternative drive systems. Today Daimler is the leader when it comes to developing hybrid drives for buses and trucks. Thanks to the new Mercedes-Benz Atego BlueTec Hybrid, Daimler Trucks now also has a hybrid truck for Europe in its product range. These activities alongside those in the fields of natural gas and fuel cell drives are combined in Daimlers Shaping Future Transportation: CleanDrive Technologies initiative.

Global Excellence

Shaping Future Transportation.

Low-emission and zero-emission trucks; commercial vehicles that automatically engage the brakes when they approach obstacles; all-round service from the purchase of the vehicle and its use to subsequent disposal; and minimum lifecycle-related costs. For Daimler Trucks all of these features can be summed up under a single heading: Shaping Future Transportation. In line with this slogan, we bring together a wide range of technologies and services that will make commercial vehicles safer, more economical, and more environmentally friendly. Obviously the new safety systems should be transferred to all vehicles as quickly as possible. And no other automaker has such a wide range of cars, trucks, buses, and vans. Thanks to this approach, our travel coaches can be fitted with systems similar to those used in our trucks. Mercedes vans have a lot to gain here, because the vehicles can take advantage not only of the safety technology used in commercial vehicles but also of the systems used in cars, to which vans are more closely related with regard to size and handling.
Shaping Future Transportation. SafeDrive Technologies.

Our aim is to be the driving force behind sustainable mobility. Daimler is promoting CleanDrive Technologies that will drastically reduce the emissions and fuel consumption of commercial vehicles. This approach extends across all levels of technology, from combustion engines and hybrid drives to fuel cell vehicles and new fuels. It also includes all vehicle segments, from light vans to heavy-duty trucks, and all of the Groups brands around the world. About 400,000 vehicles with CleanDrive technologies are currently being driven worldwide, making Daimler Trucks the Number One manufacturer of alternative drive technology. A notable example is the Mercedes-Benz Atego BlueTec Hybrid. Last year a panel of international experts named this vehicle and its entire production series International Truck of the Year 2011.
Shaping Future Transportation. CleanDrive Technologies.

The third element of Shaping Future Transportation involves ValueDrive Technologies, which provide individualized customer utility. Commercial vehicles are designed to earn money while also cutting costs as much as possible. However, the purchase price of trucks represents only part of their total cost; the lions share of their cost is accounted for by operating expenses. Thats why Daimler offers a diverse range of customized services that address everything from vehicle purchase and use to subsequent disposal. This issue has become particularly important in times of economic uncertainty. Mercedes-Benz, Fuso, and Setra, which offer a large number of different services, are pioneers in their respective areas.

As a pioneer in road safety, we are striving to make driving accidentfree. For years now, all of the major safety system innovations have been invented by Daimler. Our SafeDrive Technologies initiative will pave the way for the widespread use of safe commercial vehicles in road traffic. Our vehicles are the benchmarks for active and passive safety. For example, our Active Brake Assist and proximity control provide drivers of trucks and travel coaches with electronic support. The new Active Brake Assist 2 system for the Mercedes-Benz Actros heavy-duty truck can also initiate emergency braking in front of a stationary obstacle for example, when a driver suddenly encounters a traffic jam on the highway. A major advantage of the radar-controlled system is that it is effective from 0 to 89 km/h, regardless of visibility or weather conditions.
