Mercedes savings drive proceeding as planned by end 2027, spokesperson says

BERLIN, (Reuters) – Mercedes-Benz (MBGn.DE), said on Thursday it is on target to reduce costs by 5 billion euros ($5.9 billion) by the end of 2027, denying a media report that the goal for its efficiency programme had been brought forward by a year.

“The programme is going according to plan,” a spokesperson told Reuters.

Manager Magazin reported earlier on Thursday that the German carmaker was now targeting the savings by the end of 2026, citing sources.
