More Evidence of the Failed DaimlerChrysler Merger: Chrysler pulling MB down...

In an article stating DaimlerChrysler's revenues for 2002, it shows that total revenues are $148.15 billion, which is a decrease of 6% from 2000.

Chrysler cars generated revenues of $61.52 billion, a decrease of 7% from 2000 and Chrysler accounts for 41.5% of company revenue.

On the opposite page, Mercedes Benz generated revenues of $46.23 billion, up 9%, however MB is only 31% of the total revenue.

This merger really is not helping Mercedes.
