>That is why Honda is a bigger company than Mercedes
I was curious if this was accurate. Here are some recent numbers for revenue and unit sales:
Honda -> $144B revenue
- 12.4M motorcycles, ATVs, etc.
- 3.3M automobiles
- 5.7M generators, small engines, etc.
Daimler -> $207B revenue
- 2.4M automobiles
- 0.5M trucks
- 0.4M vans
- 0.03M buses
So, Daimler seems to be about 40% larger in revenue, but Honda sells almost 40% more automobiles. But 2.4M automobiles for Daimler seems like it's still comparable in scale.
Honda seems to still be largely a motorcycle and small engine company, in the global picture, while Daimler has a substantial business in heavy duty commercial vehicles including nameplates that aren't necessarily associated with Mercedes by the average person.
