North America drives the sales rebound
Daimler Truck sold 91,260 vehicles in the third quarter, compared with 72,277 a year earlier. That is a 26 percent increase, while Trucks North America delivered 45,629 units, up 51 percent, and Mercedes-Benz Trucks sold 40,362 units, up 13 percent. Battery-electric truck and bus sales moved in the opposite direction, falling 28 percent to 1,207 units.
The sales data give investors an early test of Daimler Trucks upgraded outlook. Reuters said the stronger North American deliveries could help offset softer conditions in parts of Europe and other markets.
What does growth mean for margins?
The second-quarter figures show why sales alone do not settle the investment case.

Adjusted return on sales was 6.8 percent, compared with 9.2 percent in the prior-year quarter.
