Clear strategy: increase profitability and shape the transformation

In its first year of independence, despite major external uncertainty, the company continues to pursue its clear strategy to maximize its earnings potential in order to master the technological change toward emission-free, safer and automated driving.

As an independently listed company since December 2021, Daimler Truck can pursue the path to emission-free transport even more focused and agile. The aim is to accelerate the development of vehicles with battery and fuel cell based powertrains - under its own steam and with strategically chosen partnerships. As early as 2030, locally emission-free commercial vehicles are expected to account for up to 60% of Daimler Truck sales. From 2039 onwards, the company only wants to offer vehicles in North America, Europe and Japan that are CO2-neutral when driven.

Daimler Truck is one of the leading commercial vehicle manufacturers in the world. With an ambitious innovation strategy, the management team intends to continue shaping the transformation of the industry in the future. I was very impressed by the motivation and energy with which the international Daimler Truck team set out on its own entrepreneurial journey. The task now is to master the operational challenges of the present while keeping a firm eye on the opportunities for sustainable value creation in the future.

We live in a time of highly diverse challenges that demand a lot from us all, due to: the COVID-19 pandemic, in which we must still be careful; the war in Ukraine with its serious consequences; and, last but not least, climate change -- which we must tackle together with full dedication. In times like these, acting responsibly is more important than ever. And taking responsibility has always been a part of the culture at Daimler Truck, in all of our teams around the world. This is exactly what Daimler Truck stands for. As an independent, listed company, our actions are both responsible and entrepreneurial. Our batteries are fully charged - and we will use this energy to the benefit of our customers, employees and shareholders.
