Sustainability

We are building the way forward

Transport keeps the world moving. People travel, goods reach their destinations, ideas spread.

For the last 130 years, we have been shaping transportation. Since inventing the truck and the bus, we have continuously driven innovation – enabling people and goods to get from A to B in a reliable, safe and efficient way. In this way, we play an essential role in society.

Today, we face a new challenge: climate change requires all of us to rethink the way we act. 

According to the IEA's Breakthrough Agenda Report 2025, around 6% of global CO₂ emissions are attributable to the commercial vehicle sector. We acknowledge this responsibility. 

Building on the legacy of our founders, we want to be part of the solution. For us, sustainability is part of our core business. We focus on concrete activities in the areas of People, Planet and Performance. These include battery-electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles as well as measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our production and supply chain. In this way, we aim to contribute to the decarbonization of transport and the transformation of our industry, for people and our planet, based on strong business performance. 

We are building the way forward. For all who keep the world moving – today and tomorrow.
