In 2020 there were no productions in Germany affected by strike.

With this, the company responded to the far-reaching effects of the corona virus and the increasingly difficult economic and social framework conditions resulting from it.

Due to the worsening COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 Daimler had decided to interrupt a large part of production and selected adminis-trative areas in Europe for about two weeks (March 23rd to April 3rd, 2020). Short-time work followed in Germany from April 6th, 2020.

The percentage of employees, which were affected by short time work reached around 80% at peak times in Germany.
