Daimler to stop building sedans in the U.S. after second-quarter loss
Daimler will stop building Mercedes-Benz sedans in the United States and Mexico as it seeks deeper cuts after posting a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss. The German automaker will halt output of its Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, leaving the plant producing sport utility vehicles (SUVs) only, it said. “Daimler pre-released better-than-consensus second-quarter numbers,” Jefferies analyst Philippe Houchois said in a note.
