For sustainable, CO2-neutral public transport: The new, all-electric Mercedes-Benz eCitaro G articulated bus has extra space to carry up to 146 passengers. It is ideally suited for use in busy cities and metro- politan areas with large passenger volumes and makes an important contribution to inner cities being pleasant to live in. As an option, the eCitaro G is available for the first time with solid batteries. They offer extra high energy density with a total energy capacity of 441 kWh. Thanks to its greater range, this bus can therefore operate very well on most typical city routes. 4 A | KEY FIGURES Q3 Key Figures Daimler Group € amounts in millions Q3 2020 Q3 2019 % change Revenue 40,281 43,270 -71 Europe 17,535 17,308 +1 thereof Germany 7,021 6,606 +6 North America 10,943 13,055 -16 thereof United States 9,602 11,377 -16 Asia 10,002 10,337 -3 thereof China 5,495 4,648 +18 Other markets 1,801 2,570 -30 Investment in property, plant, equipment 1,193 1,772 -33 Research and development expenditure 2,126 2,501 -15 thereof capitalized development costs 572 737 -22 Free cash flow of the industrial business 5,139 2,819 +82 Free cash flow of the industrial business adjusted 5,345 2,931 +82 EBIT 3,070 2,690 +14 EBIT adjusted 3,479 3,142 +11 Net profit 2,158 1,813 +19 Earnings per share (in euros) 1.92 1.61 +19 Employees 291,770 298,6552 -2 1 Adjusted for the effects of currency translation, decrease in revenue of 5%. 2 As of December 31, 2019.
