Transport Topics reported Wolfgang Bernhard, head of Daimler AG’s global truck unit, said he does not expect demand for trucks in emerging markets to recover in 2015.

“In the economically challenging markets, we continue to see risks,” he said in an interview. “We will not see a jump in demand in Brazil; the risks outweigh the opportunities.”

According to Transport Topics, Bernhard also said he does not believe that short-term changes in fuel prices will alter customers’ buying habits.

In North America, Daimler builds Freightliner and Western Star trucks and Detroit brand engines and components.
