NEW YORK, March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DaimlerChrysler AG (NYSE: DCX) , the third largest U.S. auto maker, today reported total group sales of 207,723 passenger vehicles in the U.S. for February 2006, a 4 percent increase compared to February 2005.

Chrysler Group, which consists of the Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge brands, posted sales of 190,367 vehicles in the U.S., an increase of 3 percent. Following global sales growth of 4.7 percent to 2.83 million units in 2005, Chrysler Group will launch 10 all-new vehicles in 2006, the most aggressive product launch in company history, while introducing some of the most fuel- efficient vehicles to date.

Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) posted sales of 17,356 units, up 28 percent compared to the same month last year. On the heels of recording twelve consecutive years of sales growth in 2005, February sales were boosted in part by this months' introduction of the 2007 S-Class, the ninth generation of Mercedes-Benz flagship vehicle.
