Daimler Truck Holding AG Closed Now

Daimler Truck Holding AG is one of the world’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturers, producing trucks and buses for global markets under renowned brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner, Western Star, FUSO, BharatBenz, and Setra. The company was officially spun off from Daimler AG (now Mercedes-Benz Group AG) in December 2021, becoming an independent publicly listed company focused solely on commercial transportation.

With operations in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, Daimler Truck offers a comprehensive portfolio ranging from light-duty trucks to heavy-duty long-haul vehicles and intercity buses. The company leads in safety innovation, autonomous vehicle development, and connected fleet solutions for logistics and freight operators.

Sustainability is a core strategic pillar for Daimler Truck. The company is pursuing a zero-emission future with two primary technologies: battery-electric trucks for shorter distances and hydrogen fuel cell trucks for long-haul transport. Daimler Truck plans to make all new vehicles in key markets CO₂-neutral by 2039, and its GenH2 hydrogen truck is already undergoing customer testing.

Daimler Truck Financial Services supports customers through leasing, financing, and insurance products in over 15 markets. In 2024, the company reported solid financial performance despite inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges. Its North American unit—led by Freightliner—remains the market leader in Class 8 trucks.

As of 2024, Daimler Truck employs nearly 100,000 people globally and operates more than 35 production sites. It is investing heavily in next-generation powertrains, digital platforms for fleet management, and partnerships with clean energy providers to build infrastructure for charging and refueling.

The company is also actively involved in industry coalitions to advocate for green transport policies and harmonized regulations to support the commercial adoption of zero-emission vehicles.
