Mercedes-Benz Reaches Sales of One Million 
 
One-million mark passed for the first time in November 
Record sales of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars worldwide both in November and for the first eleven months of the year 
Professor JÃ¼rgen Hubbert: 'We will significantly surpass the record sales of 1.05 million passenger cars reached in the year 2000.' 
 
For the tenth time, Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars can post a new monthly sales record this year. Compared with the same month last year, sales of passenger cars were up two percent in November 2001 to approximately 96,500 units. Between January and November 2001, the result of the previous year was even surpassed by eight percent. For the first time, it was therefore possible to exceed the one-million mark as early as November with sales of 1,034,700 Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.
