Daimler plans to rename itself Mercedes-Benz to focus on electric vehicles
(Mercedes-Benz)
Daimler has announced that it will rename itself Mercedes-Benz in the not too distant future.
The name change will come as part of a big shift in the company’s structure, which will see Daimler Trucks split off to become a separate business.
As it stands, Daimler AG is the parent company of a variety of different brands, including Mercedes-Benz and its various subsidiaries, as well as truck and bus makers.
However, splitting the truck division off into its own company will allow it to focus on maintaining its position as ‘the world’s largest truck and bus producer’ and work towards building zero-emission vehicles.
