Encompassing Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner, Fuso, Western Star, Thomas Built Buses, and, most recently, BharatBenz, the brand portfolio of Daimler Trucks spans the globe and offers an impressive variety of products. Each brand has its own distinctive character and meets the needs of its markets and customers. Daimler Trucks mission is to preserve the brands core nature while also implementing a sophisticated module strategy for maximizing synergies and economies of scale. One of the strategys key elements is the powertrain, which accounts for over half of a trucks value added. The Heavy Duty Engine Platform is now installed in vehicles throughout the triad. The engines are just as much at home in a Fuso as in a Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner Cascadia. We are also making great progress with transmissions, to name another example where our strategy is bearing fruit. Our production network is also truly global, encompassing almost 30 facilities worldwide. We therefore know that our vehicles are being built in or near their sales markets. Our plants need to be very flexible because trucks are not only capital goods but are also very much dependent on economic developments. The cyclical nature of our business means that unit volumes can fluctuate greatly. Our biggest plant, which is located in Wrth at the Rhine in Germany, is exemplary in this respect, as it can substantially adjust capacity up or down as needed. What does the year 2013 hold for Daimler Trucks? We recently launched the Daimler Trucks Number 1 growth and efficiency program, which aims to make us the most profitable globally operating truck manufacturers. Our aim is to sell more trucks and boost our profits. There are reasons to be optimistic. For example, Mercedes-Benz is already offering its full range of Euro VI-compliant products nine months before the new emissions standard goes into effect. Our customers confirm that this is a fantastic offer. Whats more, in India BharatBenz will experience its first full business year, as will our truck joint venture in China. Sincerely, Wolfgang Bernhard Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, with responsibility for Daimler Trucks and Daimler Buses

Six strong vehicle brands are combined under the Daimler Trucks umbrella. All over the world, we offer customized applications and pioneering technologies in our products. Mercedes-Benz. The Mercedes-Benz brand is a synonym for first-class product and service quality, cost-effectiveness, reliability, and sustainability, as summed up by the slogan Trucks you can trust. Whether the vehicle required is for long-haul, distribution, or construction site operation, the Mercedes-Benz brand provides customized and reliable solutions in the medium- and heavy-duty truck segment for its customers. For many decades, the pioneering spirit at Mercedes-Benz Trucks has continuously generated groundbreaking innovations from alternative drive systems to active and passive safety systems. Freightliner. The Freightliner trucks brand is the main pillar of Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA). It manufactures trucks in the classes 5 through 8, which 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 customer oriented action. Western Star. 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. Thomas Built Buses. They are a common sight on North American roads: the yellow school buses from Thomas Built Buses, which are built on Freightliner chassis. 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 safety and top quality since 1916. 10 |
Fuso. The Fuso brand has made a name for itself worldwide as a quality conscious manufacturer. 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-oriented and comprehensive spare parts and workshop services for its trucks and buses. Today, the Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) is an integral part of Daimler Trucks. It plays an important role as a competence center for light-duty trucks and state-of-the-art hybrid technology. BharatBenz. Through the BharatBenz brand, a local generation of trucks is introduced to India. Until 2014, we will offer 17 BharatBenz models in the weight classes from 6 to 49 tons. The new mediumduty BharatBenz trucks are based on the same technology platform as the established Fuso Canter.

Global Excellence.
The Global Excellence program has noticeably shaped the strategic direction of Daimler Trucks since 2005. The program encompasses short, medium, and long-term goals. Global Excellence boosts efficiency and generates economies of scale, while also enabling Daimler Trucks to professionally manage the distinct cycles of the commercial vehicles business. The Global Excellence program encompasses four initiatives: Management of Market Cycles, Operational Excellence, Growth and Market Penetration, and Future Product Generations and Technologies. Management of Market Cycles The first initiative Management of Market Cycles is designed to make Daimler Trucks less dependent on the cyclical developments that are typical to the sector. This will ensure the long-term profitability of the commercial vehicles division. Commercial vehicles are a capital good and, therefore, the market is subject to strong external factors. This includes worldwide economic fluctuations and regulatory frameworks such as exhaust emission regulations, but also the life cycles of vehicle fleets. 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 a 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 in all specialized units and departments. Daimler Trucks is also intensifying its efforts to generate additional synergy effects and economies of scale by further networking individual units and pursuing a parts commonization strategy. This realignment is another step in the implementation of the Global Excellence Strategy. Growth and Market Penetration We intend to further expand and strengthen Daimler Trucks global presence. This includes the penetration of markets with good growth opportunities, such as Russia, India, or China. We are employing different market penetration strategies that are appropriate for 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. 12 |
We intend to increase our market share in the triad as well as in Brazil. In this endeavor, the Mercedes-Benz Actros is the most important truck project of the past decade. As part of our strategy for generating new markets, we will offer customized products for the increasingly important modern domestic trucks segment in order to boost growth in these markets. Through continual cost management and the consistent utilization of synergy potential, Daimler Trucks aims to achieve an eight percent return on sales across the entire business cycle, beginning in 2013. Our global modular system is growing and allows us to develop new products for traditional and new markets at manageable costs. As a result, these 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. Thereby, Daimler Trucks is strengthening its leadership position in the area of new technologies. The new Mercedes-Benz Actros truck was redeveloped from scratch and presented to the public in 2011. Based on the same platform, the Antos for distribution services as well as the Arocs for construction applications soon followed. All three trucks already meet the Euro VI emissions standard, which is scheduled to go into effect in Europe in 2014. This also applies to the new Atego, which will be introduced in Europe in the spring of 2013. One of the areas Daimler focuses on is alternative drive systems. To this day, Daimler is the frontrunner in the development of hybrid drives not only for buses, but for trucks as well. At the end of 2011, Fuso unveiled the heavy-duty truck Super Great Eco Hybrid in Japan, and the company presented the new generation of the Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid for Europe as a highlight of last years IAA Commercial Vehicle Show. These activities alongside those in the fields of natural gas and fuel cell drives are combined in Daimlers Shaping Future Transportation: CleanDrive Concepts initiative. New Initiative As part of the Global Excellence program, the initiative Daimler Trucks Number One (DT#1) was launched in 2012. DT#1 marks improvements of a magnitude of 1.6 billion until 2014, which will help to sustainably secure our profitability goals. The potential for improvement comes out of each business unit as well as out of the work packages spanning different business segments, which concentrate on initiatives for increases in sales and revenue and the utilization of synergies and economies of scale through platform and modular strategies. Through DT#1, Daimler Trucks will expand its leading position in the global commercial vehicles industry. | 13
Global Excellence
The award underlines Fusos leading position in green innovation. The new Canter Eco Hybrid consumes up to 23 percent less fuel than a comparable conventional Canter. As a pioneer in road safety, we are striving to make driving accident free. For years now, all of the major safety system innovations have been invented by Daimler. Our SafeDrive Concepts are paving the way for the widespread and particularly safe use of commercial vehicles in road traffic. From trucks and buses to vans, our vehicles are the benchmarks for active and passive safety. For example, our Active Brake Assist and adaptive cruise control provide truck drivers with electronic support. The new Actros will be not only even more economical, but also even safer. It already has the reputation of being the world champion heavy-duty truck in terms of safety, and it is now underlining this position with the next generation of the Active Brake Assist 3. This system, which is sometimes referred to as the Emergency Braking Assistant, can now independently trigger emergency braking in front of stationary obstacles. This means the Actros can not only mitigate the effects of a rear-end collision, as was already the case, but can also depending on the speed at which the truck is traveling prevent such accidents altogether. Its yet another milestone in the development of truck safety. Obviously the new safety systems are transferred to all of our vehicles as quickly as possible. No other manufacturer offers such a wide range of cars, trucks, buses, and vans. Thanks to this approach, our buses can be fitted with systems similar to those used in our trucks. Mercedes-Benz vans have a lot to gain here as well. They can take advantage not only of the safety technology used in commercial vehicles, but also of the systems used in cars, which are more closely related to vans in terms of size and handling.
