At
the Daimler plant in Cleveland, North Carolina, 550 positions
will be cut, a spokeswoman for Daimler said. A further 700 jobs
in Mount Holly, North Carolina, will also be eliminated, Daimler
said.
"We see a fall in demand of about 10 percent for heavy trucks in
North America this year. This is a response to lower demand,"
the spokeswoman said. The job cuts will be effective as of April
16.
Earlier this month, Daimler Trucks chief Wolfgang Bernhard said
there was need for further job cuts amid falling demand for
trucks.
