Key figures for the Mercedes Car Group and Truck Group divisions and the Van, Bus, Other segment in Q2 2007

• Mercedes Car Group EBIT improves from €690 million to €1,204 million

• Truck Group achieves EBIT of €601 million (Q2 2006: €585 million)

• Van, Bus, Other: EBIT of €257 million (Q2 2006: €1,121 million due to positive special items)

• New target for Mercedes Car Group: return on sales of 10% by 2010 at the latest

Stuttgart - DaimlerChrysler (stock-exchange abbreviation DCX) today published key figures for its Mercedes Car Group and Truck Group divisions and for its Van, Bus, Other segment for the second quarter of 2007 on a preliminary basis. Results for the DaimlerChrysler Group, the Financial Services division and the discontinued activities of the Chrysler Group and Chrysler Financial (NAFTA) will be published together with the complete interim report for the second quarter of 2007 on August 29, 2007, as announced at the beginning of July 2007.

Details of the divisions in the second quarter of 2007

The Mercedes Car Group sold 320,200 vehicles in the second quarter (Q2 2006: 325,500), while its revenues of €12.6 billion

DaimlerChrysler Communications, Stuttgart (Germany), Auburn Hills (USA)

reached the prior-year level.

The Mercedes Car Group posted second-quarter EBIT of €1,204 million, and thus significantly increased its earnings compared with the prior-year quarter (Q2 2006: €690 million). The increase was a result of the positive development of the sales mix and the quality and efficiency improvements achieved within the context of the CORE program. However, earnings were negatively impacted by exchange-rate effects in the second quarter of 2007.

Second-quarter sales of 285,600 Mercedes-Benz brand passenger cars were 2% below the high prior-year figure. 17,200 of the new
C-Class model, which was launched in Western Europe in March 2007, were sold in June alone, although it had not yet been launched in other major markets and additional engine versions are still to come. As expected, unit sales by the smart brand decreased to 31,700 (Q2 2006: 34,500) due to the discontinuation of the smart forfour, of which 12,000 units were sold in the second quarter of last year. Unit sales of the new smart fortwo, which was launched at the end of March, have been developing very positively. Second-quarter unit sales of the smart fortwo increased by 44% compared with the prior year.

The comprehensive measures taken to achieve further quality improvements also had a positive impact. In the past two years, the number of faults per vehicle delivered was reduced by 25%, which also led to lower warranty expenses. This positive development has been confirmed by J.D. Power surveys.

The Truck Group sold 112,100 vehicles in the second quarter of this year, which as expected was lower than the high prior-year figure (Q2 2006: 132,400). The figure reported in the prior year included an additional 6,200 Sprinter vans produced by Trucks NAFTA. This sales decrease was primarily due to a drop in demand caused by stricter emission regulations in the United States, Canada and Japan. Revenues of €6.9 billion were 19% below the figure for the second quarter of last year.

The Truck Group posted second-quarter EBIT of €601 million (Q2 2006: €585 million). Earnings were boosted by the positive development of unit sales in Europe and Latin America, improved product positioning and ongoing efficiency enhancements. There were also negative effects, however, due to lower sales of trucks in the NAFTA region and Japan. But the measures initiated for the management of market cycles and the other initiatives of the Global Excellence program had a distinct positive effect. The sale of real-estate properties in Japan led to a capital gain of €68 million in the second quarter.

Unit sales by Trucks Europe/Latin America increased by 8% to 39,700 vehicles. Trucks NAFTA sold 24,500 vehicles of the Freightliner, Sterling, Western Star and Thomas Built Buses brands (Q2 2006: 46,800). The figure reported in the prior year included an additional 6,200 Sprinter vans produced by Trucks NAFTA. The substantial decrease in unit sales is primarily a result of the EPA07 emission regulations, which came into force this year and led to purchases being brought forward to 2006. Trucks Asia sold 47,800 vehicles of the Mitsubishi Fuso brand (Q2 2006: 49,800).

In May, Freightliner presented its new heavy truck, Cascadia,

the first truck to be fitted with engines of the new Heavy Duty Engine Platform. The further developed Mitsubishi Fuso Super Great model, which fulfills the new, stricter Japanese emission regulations, was already unveiled in April.

The Van, Bus, Other segment primarily comprises the Vans and Buses units, the Group’s equity interest in the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS), and its real-estate activities.

The second-quarter EBIT of the Van, Bus, Other segment was €257 million (Q2 2006: €1,121 million). In the prior-year period, there was a capital gain totaling €814 million resulting from the valuation of derivative financial instruments used to hedge the price risks of EADS shares; most of this valuation gain was accounted for by a financial transaction that was completed in the first quarter of 2007. In total, income from the participation in EADS was €56 million in the quarter under review compared to €940 million in the prior-year.

Mercedes-Benz Vans increased its unit sales by 13% compared with the prior-year period to 73,800 vehicles. Due to high demand for the new Sprinter, production capacities in the Düsseldorf and Ludwigsfelde plants are fully utilized.

DaimlerChrysler Buses sold 10,300 buses and chassis in the second quarter, equaling the very high unit sales achieved in the prior-year period. The development of unit sales was particularly positive in Latin America. With these sales figures, DaimlerChrysler Buses maintained its worldwide market

leadership.

Both units achieved positive earnings in the second quarter.

Outlook

In the second half of this year, DaimlerChrysler expects the expansion of global automotive markets – both for passenger cars and for commercial vehicles – to slow down compared to the same period of 2006. This is primarily due to developments in the triad markets. In full-year 2007, demand for passenger cars in the markets of North America, Western Europe and Japan is expected to fall slightly. However, significant increases in demand for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles are anticipated for the emerging markets of Asia and Latin America, as well as for Eastern Europe. Demand for trucks in North America is expected to fall sharply. The market volume for trucks in Japan should also be significantly lower than in the prior year. In view of the positive economic conditions in Western Europe, DaimlerChrysler anticipates slightly positive market developments in this region.

The Mercedes Car Group continues to assume that its unit sales in the year 2007 will at least be equal to the record level of the prior year. Following the launch of two high-volume models in spring – the new C-Class sedan and the new smart fortwo – the station-wagon version of the C-Class will be presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and will be on sale by the end of the year. The division will continue implementing the CORE program in order to achieve profitable growth and create sustained value.

For full-year 2007, the Mercedes Car Group expects to achieve a return on sales of significantly more than 7%. Despite increased expenditure for more efficient and alternative drive systems, the return on sales should increase to 10% by the year 2010 at the latest.

The Truck Group anticipates significantly lower unit sales in 2007 than in the prior year. This is mainly due to the drop in demand due to stricter emission regulations in the United States, Canada and Japan. However, unit sales are expected to develop positively in Europe and Latin America.

As a result of strong demand for the Sprinter and the very positive development of the Vito/Viano models, unit sales of vans are expected to increase compared to the year 2006. Despite cyclical market downturns in some key bus markets, unit sales of buses are anticipated at the high level of the prior year due to very positive market developments in Latin America.

The special items shown in the following table influenced EBIT in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006:
