• Daimler Truck Financial Services Australia (DTFSAu) is now supporting Daimler Truck trucks and buses sales in New Zealand with leasing and financing solutions for Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner, and Fuso
• Customers can now also access DTFS's full range of solutions through the authorized Daimler Truck dealer network across New Zealand.

Leinfelden-Echterdingen/Victoria – Daimler Truck Financial Services (DTFS) continues its international growth course by launching customer financing in New-Zealand. With its market entry, DTFS now offers integrated leasing, financing, and service solutions for trucks and buses from Daimler Truck AG. 

“With our launch in New-Zealand, we are strengthening our presence in Asia-Pacific. Our goal is to support the sales of Daimler Truck and to provide our customers with comprehensive solutions that go far beyond traditional financing,” says Stephan Unger, CEO of Daimler Truck Financial Services.

The business in New Zealand will be steered from the existing DTFS entity in Australia. Craig Cubitt, Managing Director & CEO at Daimler Truck Financial Services Australia, stated: "We are very excited to be finally entering the New Zealand market. Our mission is to make the financing process as straightforward and efficient as possible, so our customers can focus on what they do best: keeping New Zealand moving."

“The start of retail financing in New Zealand is another step to expand our global offering. The hub concept we now started with Australia and New Zealand can be a blueprint for further opportunities in other markets”, says Eva-Marie Lander, Head of DTFS Region International.

DTFS is globally transforming from a pure financial services provider to a full-service partner for commercial vehicles. In addition to leasing and financing, the portfolio also includes insurance, rental offerings, charging infrastructure, and its own payment solution. Customers can flexibly combine these services at fixed monthly rates – a model already available in many markets worldwide.

Daimler Truck Financial Services is active in 19 countries worldwide. As of mid-2025, the company’s contract volume for leasing, financing, and insurance amounted to around 30 billion euros.
