Welcome to the world’s leading truck manufacturer! I’m delighted that you are interested in our business. Our sector is currently in the midst of a very exciting time. From a technological standpoint, we are now entering into a new, digital era, 120 years after Daimler invented the truck. From an economic point of view, it’s often difficult to predict how the markets will develop in the future. For example, two very important truck markets, Indonesia and Brazil, experienced an unexpectedly sharp decline in 2015.
Nevertheless, 2015 was a good year for us. Despite the difficult market situation, we continued to grow profitably. We surpassed the sales target of 500,000 trucks, which we had set some time ago. In fact, our unit sales and operating result were at their highest levels in the history of Daimler Trucks. This achievement was made possible by our great team, which is forging ahead in the right areas. Firstly, we are maintaining our technological lead, which we will demonstrate as impressively in the field of connectivity as in that of autonomous driving. Secondly, we are continuing to steadily expand our market presence worldwide. We are in the process of setting up new regional centers in six important growth markets so that we can strengthen our sales and service activities in proximity to our customers. Finally, we are systematically implementing our intelligent platforms. We are now also manufacturing our automated DT12 transmission in the United States, where we are introducing our medium-duty engines as well.
In short, we have the right strategy, and this strategy is effective. We are therefore confident that we can further extend our lead. We’re still the world’s most pioneering manufacturer even 120 years after the invention of the truck. Sincerely yours, Wolfgang Bernhard

The Brands: Six strong vehicle brands are gathered under the um- brella of Daimler Trucks. All over the world, we offer our customers tailored applications and pioneering technologies in our products. Mercedes-Benz: The Mercedes-Benz brand is a synonym for top-class product and service quality, cost- effectiveness, reliability, and sus-tainability, as summed up by our slogan “Trucks you can trust.” Whether customers need vehicles for long-haul operations, construction site use, or distribution transpor-tation, Mercedes-Benz offers all customers the right solutions in the light, medium, and heavy-duty segments. The pioneering spirit at Mercedes-Benz Trucks has repeatedly generated groundbreaking innova-tions – from alternative drives to active and passive safety systems. Freightliner Trucks: Freightliner Trucks manufactures Class 5 to 8 trucks for a broad range of commercial vehicle applications. The company focuses on innovation, state-of-the-art technology, and a customer- focused approach that make it the best-selling brand of Class 8 trucks in North America. The Cascadia® Evolution is the flagship vehicle in the long-distance haulage segment. The products in the vocational
seg-ment encompass a wide range of individually configurable vehicles for many different applications. Western Star: The large number of different configuration possibilities ensures that Western Star trucks are tailored to their customers’ needs. Western Star is the premium manu- facturer of heavy-duty trucks for spe-cial and long-distance transportation tasks. The brand is synonymous with reliability and high performance. The striking vehicles are ideally suited for offroad applications and are clearly “Serious Trucks for Seri-ous Truckers.”
Detroit: Through its components’ brand “Detroit,” Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) offers a completely integrated powertrain that is entirely developed and produced in-house. For the customers’ benefit, the pow-ertrain components (engines, axles, and transmissions) are optimally coordinated with one another. Thomas Built Buses: The compre-hensive range of light- to medium- duty buses from Thomas Built Buses is geared toward a variety of target groups, including schools, daycare centers, recreation centers, trans-portation companies, and special markets. The buses are individually manufactured in line with the cus-
9
tomer’s wishes and sold through inde-pendent dealerships all over North America. As the leading manufac-turer of school buses, Thomas Built Buses is committed to sustainabil-ity. In this respect, the company focuses on innovative vehicles that meet the highest standards for sustainability, safety, and reliability. Thomas Built Buses will celebrate its 100th anniversary this year. FUSO: The FUSO brand has made a name for itself as a quality-con-scious manufacturer, and its reputa-tion now extends well beyond Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The vehicles developed and produced by FUSO impress customers with
their great efficiency. FUSO offers extremely customer-focused and comprehensive spare parts and work- shop services for its trucks and buses. Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation is an integral part of Daimler Trucks. It plays an important role as the competence center for light-duty trucks and state-of-the-art hybrid technology. BharatBenz: In 2011 Daimler introduced its first brand that is tailored to a specific market. Known as BharatBenz, the brand offers a selection of state-of-the-art trucks with a GVW of 9 to 49 tons. The products are manufactured locally for the Indian market.

Strategy
The Daimler Trucks strategy rests on three pillars: Technology leader- ship, global market presence, and intelligent platforms. The system-atic implementation of our strategy is steadily extending our lead. Our goals are to sell 700,000 trucks per year by 2020 and achieve an eight percent return on sales over the entire business cycle.
Technology leadership: Daimler Trucks aims to set the pace for the entire industry and to actively shape the future of transportation. Road freight transport will continue to grow worldwide in the decades ahead, and the challenge will be to reconcile environmental and economic require-ments. This can only be achieved with innovations for more efficiency, safety, and connectivity. In the case of autonomous driving, which combines these three fields, we took additional big steps in 2015 toward making this technology market-ready. In May, the U.S. state of Nevada approved our Freightliner Inspiration Truck for road use, making it the first autonomously driving truck to receive this kind of certification anywhere in the world. In October, a Mercedes-Benz Actros equipped with the Highway Pilot became the world’s first autonomously driving series-pro- duction truck when it took its maiden drive on highway A8 near Stuttgart.
Efficiency: Diesel fuel accounts for a major share of a truck’s total cost of ownership. That’s why fuel efficiency is a crucial factor for our customers, and we are doing everything we can to make our trucks even more economical. For example, the new generation of our OM 471 heavy-duty engine further reduces fuel consumption by as much as three percent. In order to further reduce diesel consumption and CO2 emissions we also have to take an integrated approach that looks at the overall system of truck transport, including the semi-trail-ers, tires, fuel, operations, infra-structure, and fleet modernization. In our Efficiency Run practical test, we used optimized overall vehicles to achieve savings of 12 to 14 per-cent in 2015.
Safety: Active safety systems are crucial for trucks to prevent acci-dents from happening in the first place. The sector has accomplished a great deal over the past 20 years. While transportation efficiency rose by around 80 percent in Germany, the number of severely injured people declined by more than 40 percent and the number of traffic fatalities by over 50 percent. During this period, Daimler repeatedly set the standards and launched pio-neering innovations on the market.
11
We will also become the first manu- facturer to introduce a standard- fitted turning assistant that detects pedestrians and vehicles in the driver’s blind spot. In the future, the Highway Pilot will combine a large number of advanced assistance sys-tems and take us a big step toward achieving our vision of accident-free driving.
Connectivity: A state-of-the-art truck contains about 400 sensors that generate huge amounts of data, some of which we can already use today. For example, advanced telematics systems such as Fleet-Board and Detroit Connect enable companies to always know where their trucks are and how much fuel they are consuming. They can thus determine which drivers should attend a training course to learn how to save fuel. Although we have al-ready begun to exploit the potential of connectivity, we will soon expe-rience a quantum leap when trucks are connected to cloud computing systems. Connected trucks open up completely new opportunities for everyone involved in logistics: manufacturers, shipping companies, workshops, government agencies, financial partners, and many others. Global market presence: We are steadily expanding our global foot- print – for example through local value added in the main sales mar- kets. We have a global network of manufacturing locations, where we produce top-quality trucks accord- ing to uniform standards. We are cur-rently strengthening our sales and
service activities by creating six new regional centers in key growth regions of Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. In Russia, we are working together closely with our partner Kamaz. We are rep-resented in China by Auman-brand trucks, which are manufactured by our BFDA joint venture with Foton. Our product range is now stronger and more extensive than ever be-fore, and we are offering more than 50 truck models all over the world. Intelligent platforms:Component modules enable us to supply our customers with tailored technol-ogies worldwide and at the same time exploit our economies of scale. We supply innovative cutting-edge technologies to the core markets of the triad (Western Europe, North America, Japan), utilize our tradi-tional and proven technologies in markets such as Brazil, China and Russia, and offer simpler technolo-gies to meet the needs of custom-ers in markets such as India, Africa, and some other parts of Asia. We can achieve huge cost benefits by offering previously developed technologies in numerous markets. Our heavy-duty engine platform has already been introduced throughout the triad, and we are now launching our medium-duty engines in the United States as well. In 2018 we will also begin to manufacture these engines there. St ra teg y STRATEGY

Global Powertrain
Global Powertrain
Global Powertrain stands not only for integrated drive trains, but also for the integration of all global locations and relevant functions along the value chain. The unit manufactures innovative and reliable drive system compo-nents according to globally uniform quality standards. The compocompo-nents are used by all of Daimler’s commercial vehicle divisions and brands as well as by external suppliers. At over 50 percent, powertrains account for the lion’s share of a truck’s value added and thus make a major contribution to the growth and financial success of Daimler Trucks. Intelligent platforms and the close cooperation within an international production network can generate synergy effects for the company and its customers. Following on the great success of the Heavy-Duty Engine Platform (HDEP), the company will also begin to offer the new DD5 and DD8 medium-duty engines in the NAFTA region this year. The engines, which will already fulfill NAFTA’s greenhouse gas emission standard (GHG17) at their launch, will initially be manufactured in Mannheim before they begin to roll off the production line in Detroit in 2018.

Heavy-Duty Engine Platform (HDEP): Since 2007, the heavy-duty engine generation has covered the heavy-duty segment from 10.7 to 15.6 l and from 240 to 460 kW. From the very start, it showed that it is possible to achieve Euro VI compliance and higher fuel effi-� ciency at the same time. The most recent example of this is the latest generation of the OM 471 engine. Compared to its predecessor, the new engine consumes up to 3% less fuel despite having a higher torque and more dynamic handling. The cleanest and most modern engine platform fulfills the tough emission standards in force in Europe, North America, and Japan, and was gradually rolled out in the triad markets as well as in off-highway products in recent years.
For these engines, Daimler Trucks exploits the advantages of a global platform architecture. As a result, the division can exploit development synergies and roll out innovations more quickly. The HDEP engines are used worldwide in heavy-duty trucks from Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner, Western Star, and FUSO as well as in touring coaches from Setra and Mercedes-Benz. Product highlights 33 Da iml er T ru ck s Gl ob al P ow er tr ai n
Medium-Duty Engine Generation (MDEG): In 2013 Daimler presented the Medium-Duty Engine Genera-tion – a new engine series that was developed from the ground up for light- and medium-duty trucks as well as for buses. The engines of the OM 93x series (four or six cylinders and either 5.1 l or 7.7 l of displace-ment) cover the performance range from 115 to 260 kW and set bench-marks in their class. The engine’s great economy is demonstrated in their durability, low consumption of fuel, AdBlue, and motor oil, and long maintenance intervals. Cutting-edge technology give the MDEG engines an impressive performance. They are the first series-produced diesel engines in the world to have an adjustable camshaft. The six-cylin-der-variant is also available for ur-ban and intercity buses, and, since 2014, as an off-highway engine. As part of their global rollout, the DD5 and DD8 medium-duty engines will also be offered on the NAFTA mar-ket beginning in 2016. The engines, which will already fulfill NAFTA’s greenhouse gas emission standard (GHG17) at their launch, will initially be manufactured in Mannheim before they begin to roll off the pro-duction line in Detroit in 2018.
Classic engine series: Global Pow-ertrain also offers customers a range of high-quality medium-duty and heavy-duty engines outside the triad markets. Customers in coun-tries such as Brazil and India benefit from the outstanding combination of robustness, low procurement costs, and high fuel efficiency pro-vided by the four and six-cylinder 900 series engines and the six- cylinder 457 series.
Integrated powertrain/DT12 trans-mission: In Europe, Mercedes-Benz Trucks offers complete powertrains (ranging from engines and transmis-sions all the way to axles) for both the medium-duty and the heavy-duty segments from a single source. Cus-tomers thus benefit from outstand-ing levels of fuel efficiency, thanks to optimally coordinated engines within an integrated powertrain. In another chapter of the PowerShift success story, the transmission that had previously proven its worth in the new Actros and the FUSO Super Great also began to receive outstanding customer feedback in North America in 2013. The Detroit Transmission 12 (DT12 for short) marked an important step in Daimler Trucks’ module and parts commo-nization strategy. In 2015 around 40 percent of all Freightliner Cas-cadia and Western Star 5700 XE trucks sold in the NAFTA region were equipped with the DT12. The transmission has been produced in Detroit since 2015. The DT12 is installed in the Freightliner Cascadia Evolution together with the Detroit Diesel 15 (DD15) heavy-duty engine and Detroit axles. As a result, Daim-ler Trucks North America (DTNA) offers a fully integrated powertrain on the U.S. market. Moreover, DD15, DT12, and Detroit axles make the Cascadia Evolution the total
cost of ownership (TCO) champion in the heavy-duty segment. Third-party business: As a systems supplier for commercial vehicle drive train components, Global Powertrain sells customized prod-ucts to external customers from the on-highway and off-highway segments, including crane manufac-turers. In its product range, the unit offers engines, transmissions, and axles that are optimally coordinated with customer- and market-spe-cific requirements and supplied as separate components as well as complete powertrain solutions. In addition, customers benefit from the unit’s global aftersales network.
