FRANKFURT: German
carmaker Daimler is to become this year's biggest and most profitable luxury
car maker, its chief executive said on Thursday.
"We will achieve
it this year, four years ahead of time," Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche said
at an economic conference in Frankfurt, referring to the company's 2020 target
of becoming the world's biggest premium carmaker.
The company had
announced the goal in 2011 and Zetsche said back then everyone was laughing at
the announcement.
Daimler's passenger car
unit Mercedes Benz was on track for full-year sales of more than two million
cars, Zetsche said, putting it ahead of rivals Audi and BMW .
