According to the management, a lot was demanded of the staff under difficult circumstances and the bonus allows the employees to “participate appropriately in the success of the company”.

Mercedes will report figures for the 2022 financial year in mid-February. Despite the uncertain economic situation, the carmaker continued to count on high sales prices last year and raised its full-year outlook again in October.
