Daimler AG is considering shifting more production to the United States due to the weak value of the dollar. “Over time, if the dollar relationship stays where it is, we have to increase our production activity in the US,” Daimler Executive Vice President, Klaus Maier, said.
Maier also said that Daimler has increased its purchasing in North America to take advantage of the exchange rate. Mercedes already produce SUVs in the U.S.
Maier failed to give a time frame for increased U.S. production.
