FRANKFURT, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Incoming DaimlerChrysler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche could also be in charge of the carmaker's Mercedes premium division for some time after taking on that post as well from the start of September, a company source said on Thursday.

"It can be somewhat longer term, perhaps even more than a year," the source said on condition he not be named. But a search was already on for an internal successor, he added.
