Overview
After nearly 10 years of irreconcilable differences, Daimler and Chrysler called it quits. They joined forces in 1998 in a $37 billion deal, but the marriage never worked. In 2007 Daimler sold 80% of Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management for about $7.4 billion. Daimler's passenger car business, Mercedes-Benz Cars, includes the Mercedes, Maybach, and smart brands. Its Daimler Trucks North America unit is the US's #1 heavy-truck maker, and with its Fuso, Mercedes-Benz, and Sprinter brands, Daimler is the world's leading maker of commercial vehicles. The company controls a 15% stake in EADS, the European aerospace and defense consortium. Daimler gets about half of its sales in Europe.
