The truckmaker still expected to make between 500,000 and 520,000 vehicles this year, as previously forecast - but positive exchange rate effects and high demand meant it could boost its revenue from the same number of unit sales, it said. "Daimler Truck expects the macroeconomic conditions for global demand for trucks to remain favourable in 2022," the truckmaker said in a statement.Revenues rose 17% to 10.6 billion euros in the first quarter of the year, with earnings before interest and taxes up 11%. Still, Daimler Truck's adjusted return on sales fell slightly to 5.9% from 6.3% in the same period last year.
