Daimler AG said it would lay off more than 1,200 workers this week at a pair of North Carolina assembly plants in response to falling demand for commercial trucks.

Daimler's North America truck unit, which makes Freightliner trucks, said Monday it plans to furlough 550 workers at its Cleveland, N.C., assembly plant, a quarter of the plant's employees. More than one-third of the workforce at Daimler's Mount Holly plant, about 700 employees in all, will be laid off as well. The layoffs will take effect Friday.

The Mount Holly plant, which builds medium-duty trucks, will drop to two work shifts a day from three for the 1,450 workers remaining on the job. The 1,600 workers left at the Cleveland plant will work a single daily shift. The plant had previously operated with two shifts.
