BERLIN, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Daimler Truck reported a 9.8% adjusted return on sales for its industrial business in the third quarter on Tuesday, up from 9.4% last year, even as supplier bottlenecks dented its unit sales.

The truck and bus maker confirmed its forecast for 2023 but warned incoming orders were down 27% in the quarter, bringing the total drop in incoming orders this year so far to 17%.
