DaimlerChrysler was formed in 1998 when Daimler-Benz merged with Chrysler Corp. DaimlerChrysler manufactures cars and trucks (brands include Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Mercedes-Benz), provides financial services through DaimlerChrysler Financial Services, and owns a major stake in aerospace group EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company). In 2007, DaimlerChrysler sold Chrysler to private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management. The de-merged company was renamed Daimler AG.
