That race car later became known as the <a href="/wiki/Mercedes_35_hp" title="Mercedes 35 hp">Mercedes 35 hp</a>.

Schrempp">Jürgen E. Schrempp</a>,<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> Daimler-Benz and United States–based automobile manufacturer <a href="/wiki/Chrysler" title="Chrysler">Chrysler Corporation</a>, the smallest of the main three American automakers, merged in 1998 in an exchange of shares<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> and formed DaimlerChrysler AG. Valued at US$38 billion, it was the world's largest ever cross-border deal.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> The terms of the merger allowed Daimler-Benz's non-automotive businesses such as Daimler-Benz InterServices AG, "debis AG" for short, to continue to pursue their respective strategies of expansion. debis AG reported revenues of $8.6 bn (DM 15.5 bn) in 1997.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto2-9">[9]</a> The merger was contentious with investors launching lawsuits over whether the transaction was the 'merger of equals' that senior management claimed or actually amounted to a Daimler-Benz takeover of Chrysler. A <a href="/wiki/Class_action" title="Class action">class action</a> investor lawsuit was settled in August 2003 for US$300 million while a suit by billionaire investor activist <a href="/wiki/Kirk_Kerkorian" title="Kirk Kerkorian">Kirk Kerkorian</a> was dismissed on 7 April 2005.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> The transaction claimed the job of its architect, Chairman Jürgen E. Schrempp, who resigned at the end of 2005 in response to the fall of the company's share price following the transaction.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> Another issue of contention is whether the merger delivered promised synergies and successfully integrated the two businesses. <a href="/wiki/Martin_H._Wiggers" title="Martin H. Wiggers">Martin H. Wiggers</a>' concept of a platform strategy, like the VW Group's, was implemented only for a few models, so the synergy effects in development and production were low.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> As late as 2002, DaimlerChrysler appeared to run two independent product lines. Later that year, the company launched products that did integrate elements from both sides of the company, including the <a href="/wiki/Chrysler_Crossfire" title="Chrysler Crossfire">Chrysler Crossfire</a>, which was based on the Mercedes SLK platform and utilized Mercedes's 3.2 L V6, and the <a href="/wiki/Dodge_Sprinter" class="mw-redirect" title="Dodge Sprinter">Dodge Sprinter</a>/<a href="/wiki/Freightliner_Sprinter" class="mw-redirect" title="Freightliner Sprinter">Freightliner Sprinter</a>, a re-badged <a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_Sprinter" title="Mercedes-Benz Sprinter">Mercedes-Benz Sprinter</a> van. In 2000, DaimlerChrysler acquired the <a href="/wiki/Detroit_Diesel_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="Detroit Diesel Corporation">Detroit Diesel Corporation</a> and placed its on-highway division under Daimler Trucks North America. The off-highway division was placed under MTU Friedrichshafen to form MTU America. Detroit Diesel branding has been maintained by DTNA and MTU America. In 2005, MTU-Friedrichshafen was sold to the Swedish investment firm EQT Partners. That same year, DaimlerChrysler <a href="/wiki/DaimlerChrysler%E2%80%93Mitsubishi_alliance" title="DaimlerChrysler–Mitsubishi alliance">entered into an alliance with</a> <a href="/wiki/Mitsubishi_Motors_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="Mitsubishi Motors Corporation">Mitsubishi Motors Corporation</a> in an effort to reach the Asian market.<a href="#cite_note-asiaweek-17">[17]</a> The alliance resulted in the platform sharing between the <a href="/wiki/Mitsubishi_Colt#Colt_(Z30;_2002)" title="Mitsubishi Colt">2002-2013 Colt</a> and <a href="/wiki/Smart_Forfour#First_generation_(W454;_2004)" title="Smart Forfour">first-generation Smart Forfour</a>, but the declining performance of Mitsubishi led DaimlerChrysler to sell its shares back by 2004.<a href="#cite_note-bbcapr2304-18">[18]</a> In 2006, Chrysler reported losses of US$1.5 billion. It then announced plans to lay off 13,000 employees in mid-February 2007, close a major assembly plant and reduce production at other plants in order to restore profitability by 2008. That same year, Chrysler was overtaken by <a href="/wiki/Toyota" title="Toyota">Toyota</a> in the US market, leaving it outside of the traditional "<a href="/wiki/Big_Three_(automobile_manufacturers)" title="Big Three (automobile manufacturers)">Big Three</a>" of US automakers for the first time.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> DaimlerChrysler had reportedly approached other carmakers and investment groups to sell Chrysler in early 2007. General Motors was reported to be a suitor,<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> but Daimler agreed to sell the Chrysler unit to <a href="/wiki/Cerberus_Capital_Management" title="Cerberus Capital Management">Cerberus Capital Management</a> in May 2007 for US$6 billion and completed the sale on 3 August 2007.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> The original agreement stated that Cerberus would take an 80.1 percent stake in the new company, Chrysler Holding LLC. DaimlerChrysler changed its name to Daimler AG and retained the remaining 19.9% stake in the separated Chrysler LLC.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> The terms saw Daimler pay Cerberus US$650 million to take Chrysler and associated liabilities off its hands.

From 2010, these vans were set up in Germany, then shipped to the United States partially disassembled for reassembly to avoid import tariffs. A Daimler official said that the Sprinter's popularity in North America was making that process less efficient. The North Charleston plant had been employing only 100 workers. The Sprinter is available on the U.S. market as a panel van, crew bus and chassis in several variants with three lengths and roof heights, six-cylinder diesel or gasoline engines.

The parent company made a US$185 million <a href="/wiki/Settlement_(litigation)" title="Settlement (litigation)">settlement</a>, but the company and its Chinese subsidiary remained subject to a two-year <a href="/wiki/Deferred_prosecution_agreement" class="mw-redirect" title="Deferred prosecution agreement">deferred prosecution agreement</a> requiring further cooperation with regulators, adherence to internal controls and meeting other terms before final sentencing. Daimler would face harsher penalties should it fail to meet the terms of the agreement during the two-year period. Additionally, <a href="/wiki/Louis_J._Freeh" class="mw-redirect" title="Louis J. Freeh">Louis J. Freeh</a>, a former director of the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">Federal Bureau of Investigation</a>, served as an independent monitor to oversee Daimler's compliance with anti-bribery laws. U.S. prosecutors accused key executives of Daimler, Daimler subsidiaries, and Daimler <a href="/wiki/Affiliates" class="mw-redirect" title="Affiliates">affiliates</a> of illegally showering foreign officials with money and gifts between 1998 and 2008 to secure government contracts around the world. The investigation for the case revealed that Daimler improperly paid some $56 million in bribes related to more than 200 transactions in at least 22 countries (including China, Russia, Turkey, Hungary, Greece, Latvia, Serbia and Montenegro, Egypt, and Nigeria, among other places) that, in return, awarded the company $1.9 billion in revenue and at least $91.4 million in illegal profits.<a href="#cite_note-reuters1-110">[107]</a> The SEC case was sparked in 2004 after David Bazzetta, a former auditor at then DaimlerChrysler Corp, filed a <a href="/wiki/Whistleblower" class="mw-redirect" title="Whistleblower">whistleblower</a> complaint after he was fired for raising questions about bank accounts controlled by Mercedes-Benz units in South America.<a href="#cite_note-111">[108]</a> Bazzetta alleged that he learned in a July 2001 corporate audit executive committee meeting in <a href="/wiki/Stuttgart" title="Stuttgart">Stuttgart</a> that business units "continued to maintain secret bank accounts to bribe foreign government officials", though the company knew the practice violated U.S. laws. In another attempt to silence Bazzetta, Daimler later offered to settle his termination of employment suit out of court and he eventually accepted a settlement. But Daimler's strategy with Bazzetta proved to be a failure as the U.S. criminal investigation for violating anti-bribery laws was already underway in what has been one of the most wide-ranging cases brought against a foreign corporation.<a href="#cite_note-reuters1-110">[107]</a> According to the charges, the bribes were frequently made by over-invoicing customers and paying the excess back to top government officials or their proxies. The bribes also took the form of luxury European vacations, armored Mercedes vehicles for high-ranking government officials and a birthday gift to the dictator of <a href="/wiki/Turkmenistan" title="Turkmenistan">Turkmenistan</a>, Turkmenbashi (<a href="/wiki/Saparmurat_Niyazov" title="Saparmurat Niyazov">Saparmurat Niyazov</a>), including a golden box and 10,000 copies of his personal <a href="/wiki/Manifesto" title="Manifesto">manifesto</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ruhnama" title="Ruhnama">Ruhnama</a>, translated into German.<a href="#cite_note-112">[109]</a><a href="#cite_note-113">[110]</a> Investigators also found that the firm violated the terms of the United Nations' <a href="/wiki/Oil-for-Food_Programme#Daimler_AG_Kickbacks_Case" title="Oil-for-Food Programme">Oil-for-Food Programme</a> with <a href="/wiki/Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a> by giving <a href="/wiki/Kickback_(bribery)" title="Kickback (bribery)">kickbacks</a> worth 10% of the contract values to officials within the Iraqi government, then led by <a href="/wiki/Saddam_Hussein" title="Saddam Hussein">Saddam Hussein</a>. The SEC said the company made more than $4 million in profit from the sale of vehicles and spare parts in the corrupt oil-for-food deals.<a href="#cite_note-reuters1-110">[107]</a> U.S. prosecutors further alleged that some bribes were paid through <a href="/wiki/Shell_companies" class="mw-redirect" title="Shell companies">shell companies</a> based in the U.S. "In some cases Daimler wired these improper payments to U.S. bank accounts or to the foreign bank accounts of U.S. shell companies in order to transmit the bribe", the court papers said.<a href="#cite_note-114">[111]</a> Prosecutors said that Daimler engaged in a "long-standing practice" of paying bribes, due in part to a corporate culture that encouraged the practice. "Using <a href="/wiki/Offshore_bank" title="Offshore bank">offshore bank</a> accounts, third-party agents and deceptive pricing practices, [Daimler AG, its subsidiaries and its affiliates] saw foreign bribery as a way of doing business," said <a href="/wiki/Mythili_Raman" title="Mythili Raman">Mythili Raman</a>, a principal deputy in the Justice Department's criminal division.<a href="#cite_note-115">[112]</a> "It is no exaggeration to describe corruption and bribe-paying at Daimler as a standard business practice", <a href="/wiki/Robert_Khuzami" title="Robert Khuzami">Robert Khuzami</a>, director of the SEC's enforcement division, said in a statement.<a href="#cite_note-116">[113]</a> As per the agreement with prosecutors, the two Daimler subsidiaries admitted to knowingly violating the <a href="/wiki/Foreign_Corrupt_Practices_Act" title="Foreign Corrupt Practices Act">Foreign Corrupt Practices Act</a>, which bars companies and their officials from paying bribes to foreign officials to win business.<a href="#cite_note-117">[114]</a> The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act applies to any company that lists its shares on U.S. <a href="/wiki/Stock_exchange" title="Stock exchange">stock exchanges</a>.
