Recording of opening speeches

Last year was a special year for Daimler Truck: It was the first full financial year as an independent company and also the most profitable year in the company's entire history. The company quickly set the course for the transformation to zero-emission vehicles and thus possible new business models. In addition, focus, efficiency and speed have increased. This underscores that the step toward independence was absolutely the right one.

Daimler Truck underlines growth targets

Daimler Truck reaffirms at the Annual General Meeting its strategic ambitions: Continuous profitable growth and a leading role in the transformation toward sustainable transportation. A core element of this is the dual technology strategy. In addition to battery-electric drives, the Company is also focusing on hydrogen. The future product portfolio is developed based on these two drive concepts. By the end of 2022, the Group already had eight zero-emission truck and bus models in series production - not only in Europe, but also in the USA, South America and Japan. In the U.S. market, two more models will be added to the all-electric truck portfolio this year.

 

We have a clear picture of the future of transport - and we are playing a decisive role in shaping this future. We are making very good progress with our transformation and we are successfully working on our profitability, as our business figures show. I am therefore very confident about the future of Daimler Truck. This applies to 2023 - and it applies even more so to 2030. We want to take advantage of the enormous opportunities that this historic transformation of our industry will bring. We are determined to take Daimler Truck to a new, next level.
