* Daimler Benz North America this week brought its largest ever securitisation of vehicle loans, and the first since its merger with Chrysler. "This is a landmark deal for Daimler -- the largest ever mixed securitisation of car and truck loans," said Andrew Dym, managing director in global securitised finance at Chase Securities, joint bookrunner with Salomon Smith Barney. "With Treasuries rallying strongly and swap and credit spreads widening, this deal held together very well, thanks to Daimler-Benz's sought-after name, high quality assets and strong servicing operation."
