Ryan Joseph Ramos July 3, 2013

Mercedes-Benz managed to sell more vehicles in the first half of 2013 than any other first half in its history, posting a total of 694,433 units, which represents a 6.4 percent increase in sales. In addition to that, the company also reached record sales figures for June 2013, with 131,609 vehicles sold globally, accounting for an 8.3 percent increase.

Ryan Joseph Ramos June 5, 2013

Mercedes-Benz continued the trend of growth during the month of May 2013, selling a total of 121,360 units last month that accounts for a 7.3% increase year-over-year. In addition, the automaker also posted a record 562,824 units sold in the year to date, a 5.9% increase compared to the same period last year.

European sales grew to 57,759 in May, a 4.9% increase. This included a 17.3% growth in UK and a 13.8% increase… Continue Reading »

Daimler Abandons 2013 Profit Forecast Due to Dismal European Market

Ryan Joseph Ramos April 28, 2013

Mercedes-Benz Cars’ parent company, Daimler, announced that it would be abandoning the profit forecast it had initially set for 2013 because of the increasingly dismal market in Europe, which involves demand reaching something “around a 20-year low.” In 2012, Daimler posted  €8.1 billion (around $10.5 billion) in operating profit. Given the current conditions, the German automaker is not confident about matching that figure for 2013. This is the case even with expectations of increased group revenue. Since the start of April, Daimler had already given indications that it had to reassess its profit forecasts because of the lackluster demand and discouraging sales figures across the region. Net profit for the quarter… Continue Reading »

Ryan Joseph Ramos April 6, 2013

Despite a comparatively rough start in the European market, Mercedes-Benz managed to post solid figures for the first quarter of 2013, culminating in a best-ever month in March, with a whopping 139,920 units sold around the world over that period. That figure represents a 6.5-percent increase over the same period last year, and Q1 sales figures are also up 3.5 percent year-on-year. Mercedes-Benz credits this to strong NAFTA region performance, as well as solid sales in Japan and Russia. For example, Mercedes-Benz USA posted record quarterly sales in Q1. “With strong gains in the USA and in many new growth markets, we were able to balance out weakening European markets… Continue Reading »

Ryan Joseph Ramos March 8, 2013

Mercedes-Benz continued its strong performance in 2013, with a total of 90,083 vehicles sold all over the world for the month of February. That helped the German automaker total 184,973 units after the first two months of the current year, which represents a 1.3-percent improvement over the same period in 2012. Sales were sparked by solid numbers in the United States, in Russia, and in Japan, although things would have been much better if it weren’t for declining figures in the Chinese market.
