Daimler Buses. In 2012, Daimler Buses decided to restructure
some sections of its business system to improve efficiency
and generate growth in order to increase its market shares for
buses in Western Europe, to adapt the product portfolios
to changed market requirements and to reduce costs. These
measures also included a reduction of up to 10% of the
workforce in Western Europe. The activities of Daimler Buses
in North America were already restructured in 2012. In this
context, the production of Orion city buses was discontinued
and the workforce was scaled down by approximately 900
employees. In addition, further optimization measures were
initiated in non-productive areas in Brazil for which the
voluntary severance program described under Daimler Trucks
was started in the first quarter of 2013.
Table  F.15 shows the expenses related to the optimization
programs which affected the EBIT of the segments. The cash
flows associated with the implementation of the programs are
also shown.
These expenses primarily relate to personnel measures
and are included in the line items within the consolidated
statement of income as shown in table  F.16.
The provisions recognized for the measures at Daimler Trucks
amounted to €64 million as of December 31, 2013. At Daimler
Buses, the provisions recognized for the measures amounted
to €36 million as of December 31, 2013 (€58 million as of
December 31, 2012).
Cash outflows resulting from the optimization programs
are expected until the end of 2017, whereby the largest part
of the payments will already occur in 2014.
For the optimization programs at Daimler Trucks, the Group
anticipates further expenses of up to €150 million.
Personnel expenses and number of employees. Personnel
expenses included in the consolidated statement of income
as well as the average numbers of people employed are included
