7.3 Daimler Overview

Revenue 2012: $140bn Headquarters Stuttgart, Germany No of employees 275,087 Ticker FWB: DAI IR Contact [email protected] Website www.daimler.com

7.3.1 Daimler’s Role in the Automotive Composites Market

Daimler AG is a German automotive manufacturer best known for its Mercedes-Benz brand.

Because a large proportion of Mercedes Benz sales are in the more expensive luxury segment the

company has been able to use some composite components in most of its model range. In 2011

Mercedes started a joint venture with carbon fibre giant Toray. Together with the other large

German manufacturers they are hereby accelerating the move towards large-scale carbon fibre

usage in the automotive sector.

Daimler has also been one of the participants in the European HIVOCOMP (high volume

composites) project since 2010. This project focuses on high volume production of carbon fibres

and polyurethane based composites.

7.3.2 Daimler’s Future Outlook

Daimler is projected to remain an innovator in the vehicle efficiency department. Composite and

CFRP usage, in combination with hybrid and electric technology, is expected to play a larger role in

the future. The company’s focus on more expensive segments will allow it to continue to develop

highly sophisticated engines and use expensive weight-saving techniques that combine high

performance with high efficiency and low emissions.

In cooperation with BASF, Daimler has steadily increased the composite usage in both its

Mercedes-Benz and Smart cars. The Smart brand is expected to be used for pioneering lightweight

materials as the small size, urban orientation and premium price make it uniquely suitable for this

role.
