              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON SCHEDULE AND CONSENT
              ----------------------------------------------------

The Supervisory Board
DaimlerChrysler AG:

The audits of DaimlerChrysler AG and subsidiaries ("DaimlerChrysler") referred
to in our report dated February 8, 2002, included the related financial
statement schedule for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 2001, as contained in the DaimlerChrysler Annual Report on Form 20-F for the
year ended December 31, 2001. The financial statement schedule is the
responsibility of DaimlerChrysler's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the financial statement schedule based on our audits. In our
opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, such financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.

Our report refers to DaimlerChrysler's adoption in 2000 of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20,
"Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained
Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets."

We consent to incorporation by reference in the registration statements on Form
F-3 (No. 333-13160) of DaimlerChrysler North America Holding Corporation and the
registration statements on Form S-8 (Nos. 333-5074, 333-7082 and 333-8998) of
DaimlerChrysler AG of our report dated February 8, 2002, relating to the
consolidated balance sheets of DaimlerChrysler as of December 31, 2001 and 2000,
and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2001, and related financial statement schedule. Such
consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our report with
respect thereto appears in the DaimlerChrysler Annual Report on Form 20-F for
the year ended December 31, 2001, and was based in part on the report of other
auditors. As discussed above, our report also refers to DaimlerChrysler's
adoption in 2000 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and
Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized
Financial Assets."
