July 8 (Reuters) – Daimler Truck, one of the world’s biggest truckmakers, on Wednesday reported an 8% increase in second-quarter group vehicle sales, driven by demand recovery in its North American arm.

The company said it sold 86,707 units in the second quarter, compared with 80,607 a year earlier.

Sales at its Trucks North America business rose 8% to 41,687 units.

In June, peer Volvo said customer demand in North America was strong in the quarter.
