Stuttgart, Sindelfingen. The profit of the car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz has fallen by 57 percent. In the past year, the DAX group only earned 5.82 billion euros before interest and taxes (EBIT), as the Swabians announced on Thursday.
In the already weak year 2024 it was 13.59 billion euros – after around 20 billion in the previous years. Mercedes last achieved less surplus in 2019. At that time, the predecessor company Daimler had a profit of 1.64 billion euros from the sale of cars and vans.
