FRANKFURT (Reuters) – German luxury carmaker Daimler is preparing a stock market listing of its trucks division, business newspaper Handelsblatt reported, citing company sources.
The unit could be floated at the end of 2021, the sources said, adding division head Martin Daum is likely to get an early extension of his contract by three years as part of the plans.
Daimler was not immediately available for comment.
Rival Volkswagen last year listed its trucks unit Traton to put the business on an independent footing.
