Daimler Truck consolidates its global defence activities under the new Daimler Truck Defence brand and is investing a mid-three-digit million euro amount to strengthen development, production and service capabilities. The company aims to generate €1 billion in defence-related revenue by 2028.
The defence sector is becoming an increasingly important business area for Daimler Truck. With the launch of the new global Daimler Truck Defence brand, the company is bringing together its international defence activities under a single identity, creating a strong foundation for continued growth across markets and product segments.
Going forward, the portfolio will not only include vehicles from Mercedes-Benz Trucks, but will gradually expand to incorporate solutions based on other Daimler Truck brands and product platforms. The ambition is to offer defence customers around the world an even broader range of military mobility, logistics and mission-specific transport solutions.
