Daimler Truck's bus segment set higher profitability targets that it said will help pay for investments in electrification an digitization.

Daimler Buses said Monday that it aims for an adjusted return on sales of 8% by 2025. The German subsidiary posted an adjusted margin of 4.7% last year, according to the company's annual report.

The bus-maker said that it hopes to reach an adjusted margin of 9% by 2030.

"Most of all, this is intended to provide the manufacturer with the means to shoulder the necessary investments relating to the transformation and to strengthen its competitiveness over the long term," the company said.
