Dear Shareholders and Employees: 1998 was a historic year. A year all of us will remember. It saw the creation of DaimlerChrysler – a new company formed from a merger which was completed in record time and with the overwhelming support of you, our shareholders and our employees. A new company with a proud combined heritage, with unparalleled products and brands, and with extraordinary opportunities that neither Daimler-Benz nor Chrysler alone could have dreamed of. A GREAT START. The people of DaimlerChrysler have made a great start in turning this potential into performance. CHAIRMEN’S LETTER In 1998: 2 ½ Revenues grew to € 131.8 billion (US $146.5 billion), up 12 % compared to combined 1997 results. ½ Operating profits increased to € 8.6 billion (US $9.6 billion), up 38 %. ½ Net income, excluding extraordinary one-time costs related to the merger, grew to € 5.2 billion (US $6.1 billion), up 29 %. ½ Earnings per share grew by 30 % to € 5.58 (US $6.55), again excluding extraordinary one- time costs related to the merger. ½ We sold more than 4.4 million cars, light trucks and commercial vehicles, and gained market share in virtually every market in which we operate – despite intense competition. ½ DaimlerChrysler Services (debis) achieved record results and further strengthened its competitive position. ½ DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (Dasa) had its best year ever. ½ As a result of our strong performance, DaimlerChrysler created 19,000 new jobs. These results are a tribute to the hard work and dedication of our people. They show that all of us kept our eye on the ball, despite the extra work involved in the merger. With what we have achieved so far, with the way in which we are bringing the two companies together, with our exciting plans for the future: DaimlerChrysler is in pole position to deliver extraordinary value to our customers, our shareholders and our employees in the years ahead. DELIVERING VALUE. Our proposal to declare a dividend of € 2.35 per share, reflects our commitment to shareholder value. For former Chrysler shareholders, this represents a continuation of the high dividend levels of recent years. For former Daimler-Benz shareholders, it is a significantly better return than in the past. Also, we are the first company in the world to introduce a “global share,” which is traded as a registered share – without the need for depository receipts – on 21 stock exchanges worldwide. We were one of the first companies to adopt the new European currency, the euro, as our corporate currency. By moving early, we already reap competitive benefits from this change. And this annual report is one of the first ever to report in euro. We initiated a public offering of more than 20 % of our mobile communication service provider, debitel; and we are taking full control of Adtranz, our rail systems business, in order to turn the company around. Most importantly, we are now adopting a tough new yardstick for evaluating the performance of each of our business units compared to our cost of capital – return on net assets, or “RONA”. We established a minimum target of 15.5 % RONA before tax. However, we push each business to do much better and achieve returns that match or exceed those of their best competitors’. At corporate level, taking into account items like financing and taxes, we earn our cost of capital when we achieve at least 9.2 % RONA after tax. In 1998, the stellar performance of our businesses returned 11.6 % RONA after tax at corporate level, compared to 10.2 % in 1997. Robert J. Eaton Jürgen E. Schrempp CHAIRMEN’S LETTER 3 CREATING THE NEW COMPANY. We aim to be truly one company – the world's leading automotive and transportation products and services company. Already, we are on our way. In just the first 100 days of your company, we made great strides in bringing together all key organizational functions so that our people can focus immediately on building the new company. We combined: ½ our procurement functions – the first step toward leveraging our combined annual purchasing power of € 80 billion (US $94 billion); ½ our sales and marketing organization – to maximize the strength and reach of our products; ½ almost all of our staff functions, including quality assurance, corporate finance, legal, communications, and our information technology departments, which have been combined under one Chief Information Officer; ½ our worldwide executive management development – to rapidly align performance evaluation and career planning; ½ our research and development activities for diesel engines, electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles into single dedicated teams – combining expertise and eliminating overlap; ½ our financial services businesses – making DaimlerChrysler Services (debis) the world’s fourth largest non-bank financial services company with € 70 billion (US $82 billion) in assets.

  • Daimler-Chrysler-Vehicle-Problems
    Dodge Chrysler Vehicles - Poor Quality Reliability Safety Defects Page 1 of 17 DAIMLERCHRYSLER DODGE CHRYSLER VEHICLES - IMPORTANT CONSUMER INFORMATION BEFORE YOU BUY Dodge, Chrysler formerly DaimlerChrysler has had a history of excessive vehicle quality issues, safety defects and poor service. This continued despite the 1998 Chrysler merger with Daimler Benz and constant claims by DaimlerChrysler that this was a significant benefit to consumers. If anything, given the dramatic quality decline, it seems Mercedes Benz may have embraced some of the cost cutting quality standards at Chrysler to increase overall profitability. The problems continue despite stylish new vehicles and claims of new stringent quality standards by Chrysler to regain consumer confidence. Chrysler continues to deceive consumers regarding known potentially life threatening vehicle defects such as unsafe Seatbelts and Steering which continue to put consumer lives at risk every day. Chrysler still refuses to recall several common serious safety defects that cannot be absolved through mergers and buyouts. Chrysler continues to reduce its warranty expense through an aggressive refusal to honor many valid warranty claims while blaming the consumer whenever possible, such as defective engines where on schedule oil changes can be proven. Consumers often attribute this to being a dealer problem while failing to recognize that this is because Chrysler pressures dealers to keep warranty costs to a minimum, even for known problems and defects. Chrysler will do everything it can to avoid covering common problems under warranty whenever possible by blaming consumers or claiming issues cannot be duplicated. We believe Chrysler is the most negligent, deceptive, misleading and arrogant automobile manufacturer that does not deserve your business.

  • Weltpremiere Concept EQV: Mercedes-Benz Zeigt Ausblick Auf
    Après-Vente Communiqué Un Sprinter atelier mobile à Perpignan 25 juillet 2019 La concession Monopole Automobliles (Groupe LG Automobiles) met en service un Sprinter « atelier mobile » pour réparer les clients VP, VUL et VI « flottes » dans un rayon de 80 kilomètres autour de Perpignan. Perpignan – La concession Monopole Automobiles (groupe LG Automobiles) vient de mettre en service un Sprinter pas comme les autres. Aménagé par la société Luro en atelier mobile, ce Sprinter316 37S sillonne l’agglomération perpignanaise pour effectuer des réparations au plus près des clients VP, VUL et VI. Pour Benoît Lopez, responsable après-vente de Monopole Automobiles, « Nos entreprises clientes n’ont plus envie mobiliser du personnel et de perdre plusieurs heures à déplacer leurs camions jusqu’à l’atelier. Nous avons donc décidé de venir à eux. Cela nous permet par ailleurs de désengorger notre atelier, gagner des mètres carrés et donner davantage d’autonomie à nos techniciens qui se sont, sans hésiter, portés volontaires. » Vidange, disques, plaquettes etc. : le Sprinter stické « Atelier à domicile » dispose de tout le nécessaire pour dépanner ou réaliser l’entretien des voitures particulières, utilitaires légers, camions mais aussi des bus et des autocars. Valise de diagnostic, caisses à outils pour chaque type de véhicule, récupérateur d’huile auxquels s’ajoutent les pièces détachées préalablement commandées pour la réparation des véhicules. Cette organisation très efficace permet au Sprinter d’entretenir ou réparer jusqu’à neuf véhicules – tout type confondu - en une journée. Monopole Automobiles propose au démarrage exclusivement ce service aux clients flottes, mais n’exclut pas de l’étendre aux particuliers et aux possesseurs de camions d’autres marques que Mercedes-Benz.

Wir wollen die derzeit so intensiv diskutierte Zukunft des Verbrennungsmotors und die zunehmende Elektrifizierung der Antriebe thematisie- ren. Die Automobilindustrie sucht nach Lösungen für die umweltfreundliche Mobilität und nach Wegen zur Erreichung der CO2-Reduktionsziele des Straßenver- kehrs. Dabei spielen die klassischen Verbrennungs- motoren eine ebenso bedeutende Rolle, wie neue Hybrid- und Elektrofahrzeuge. Natürlich wollen wir uns auch mit der neuen anspruchsvollen Abgasge- setzgebung auseinandersetzen und Wege zu deren Erfüllung aufzeigen. Ergänzt wird unsere Antriebs- strategie durch Konzepte zur De-Karbonisierung der Kraftstoffe wie z.B. E-Fuels. Des Weiteren stehen derzeit wichtige Entscheidungen Matthias Wissmann, Präsident des VDA bei der Weiterentwicklung der Fahrzeugsicherheit an. In Brüssel werden 2017 die Weichen für die Fort- schreibung der „General Safety Regulation“ gestellt. Dies wird nicht nur Auswirkungen auf Europa, son- dern auch auf andere Länder wie Japan, Korea, Indien, Russland und China haben. Darüber hinaus nehmen in einem der weltweit wichtigsten Verbrau- cherschutzkonsortien im Bereich der Fahrzeugsicher- am 25. und 26. Februar 2010 wird der 9.
