STUTTGART, Germany — Daimler plans to increase its stake in KamAZ as the world's largest maker of heavy-duty vehicles targets a 64 percent rise in truck sales by the end of the decade.
The manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, which already controls 15 percent of KamAZ, aims to increase its share in the next three to four years, Andreas Renschler, head of the Daimler Trucks division, said Monday. The German company isn't planning to buy a majority of KamAZ in the near future, he said.
"Our cooperation with KamAZ is going great," Renschler said at a briefing at Daimler's headquarters. "Russia is the largest truck market in Europe and remains one of the most dynamic growth markets on the continent."

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
