FRANKFURT -- DaimlerChrysler confirmed on Wednesday that its premium Mercedes Car Group would get a new head of sales and marketing at the start of next month.
Klaus Maier, 51, will take over the post from Joachim Schmidt, 56, who will get another senior executive position at the German-American carmaker, it said in a statement.
Maier had been head of its trucks business in Europe and Latin America.
The group gave no reason for the switch, which was reported at the weekend by German magazine Der Spiegel.
