Unit sales dropped by 12 percent to around 13,000 buses worldwide. One proof of the robustness of the Daimler Buses business model is the return on sales, which reached 5.5 percent in the second quarter despite the weakness in Latin America and was thus significantly above the previous year's level of 4.8 percent.
