Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz to streamline global production network

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz is seeking to streamline global production, the German carmaker said on Friday, resulting in a restructuring charge of hundreds of millions of euros in the second quarter.

As part of that effort, it is exploring the sale of a car assembly plant in Hambach, France, it said.
