Daimler Truck, among the largest truck manufacturers on the planet, announced Wednesday that its group vehicle sales for the second quarter rose 8%, fueled largely by a rebound in demand from its North American business segment.
The company reported selling 86,707 vehicles during the second quarter, up from 80,607 units sold during the same period one year ago.
Its Trucks North America division led the charge, posting an 8% sales increase to reach 41,687 units for the quarter.
The positive results come on the heels of comments from rival Volvo, which said in June that customer demand across North America had been strong throughout the quarter.
