Kommentar: Mercedes braucht schnell eine Einigung über die Arbeitskosten in Deutschland
Die Langfristpläne des Unternehmens sind überzeugend. Doch auch kurzfristig muss Konzernchef Källenius liefern. Trotz Gewinnwarnung gibt es in der Bilanz Hoffnungswerte.
A German newspaper has commented on Mercedes-Benz's need for a swift agreement on labor costs in the country. Ola Källenius, the company's CEO, made this point while presenting quarterly figures to analysts. He stated, "There were some external speculations about our strategic steps for 2030 and beyond. We will provide a more comprehensive update next year."
Källenius' plan includes overhauling parts of car production, moving away from platform-based methods to a modular assembly system that could make production cheaper and faster. The company is also investing in autonomous and automated driving systems for the future, with a city assistant expected in Germany by 2027. Mercedes-Benz's long-term plans are convincing, but Källenius needs to deliver results quickly.
He has already overestimated sales and profit targets twice: once in the summer when they were revised downwards, and again with the recent profit warning.
