Three legally independent stock corporations now operate under the parent company Daimler AG: Daimler Truck AG, Mercedes-Benz AG, and Daimler Mobility AG.

All global truck and bus activities, including MFTBC operations, will be conducted under Daimler Truck AG. As for the other subsidiaries under Daimler AG, Mercedes-Benz AG will be responsible for Mercedes-Benz Cars & Vans, while Daimler Financial Services and Daimler‘s mobility services will be combined under Daimler Mobility AG. The three subsidiaries‘ parent company Daimler AG will continue to be the only listed company. 

The new Daimler Truck AG is a German stock corporation based in Stuttgart. As required by law, the supervisory board of Daimler Truck AG will be comprised of 20 members. Hartmut Schick, head of Daimler Trucks Asia and CEO of MFTBC, will serve as one of the board members.

“Our customers are at the focus of everything we do: We work for all who keep the world moving,” said Martin Daum, chairman of the board of management of Daimler Truck AG. “We can only be successful if we make our customers successful – and we do this with products that combine two things: local market requirements and our globally leading technologies.”
