We are excited to welcome Karin Rådström as the new CEO of Daimler Truck AG! Karin will also assume the role of Chairwoman of the Board of Management in early 2025. She takes over from Martin Daum, who led our company since 2017. Martin will remain a member of the Board of Management, focusing on Daimler Buses, Financial Services, and IT through the end of the year.   Thank you, Martin, for your incredible leadership at DTAG and DTNA throughout your career. And to Karin, we’re excited to move forward together!   #DaimlerTruck #WeAreDaimlerTruck

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by Hurricane Helene.

With over four decades at DTNA, Annette has witnessed immense change while making significant contributions to the company’s success. Starting as a clerk in the Traffic department, Annette’s career has spanned various roles, including Export Parts, Product Merchandising, and Trade Compliance. Her journey showcases a dedication to personal growth, adaptability, and relationship-building. One of her proudest achievements is the creation of the corporate giving program that evolved into Daimler Truck Cares, a global platform fostering volunteerism and philanthropy. Annette’s advice to others: "Build relationships, keep learning, and laugh often." Her impact continues to inspire, and we are grateful for her legacy. #DaimlerTruck #WeAreDaimlerTruck #YouMakeUs #DaimlerTruckCares #WomenInLeadership #EmployeeSpotlight

To celebrate Truck Driver Appreciation Week, our CEO John O'Leary visited a Love's Travel Stops to personally thank the dedicated professionals who keep our economy moving. Truck drivers ensure that supply chains stay intact and essential goods reach their destinations.   John O’Leary met with drivers, offering a token of appreciation with custom hats and expressing our sincere gratitude for their hard work and commitment. These professionals spend countless hours on the road, often far from family, ensuring the success of businesses and communities.   Let’s take a moment to acknowledge their critical role in keeping the world moving. #WeAreDaimlerTruck #DaimlerTruck #ForAllWhoKeepTheWorldMoving #TruckDriverAppreciationWeek

At Daimler Truck North America, we’re excited to expand the use of our battery-electric Freightliner eCascadia within our logistics network in collaboration with J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.. This milestone marks our first fully electric route for aftermarket parts distribution, with the eCascadia delivering parts from our Phoenix distribution center to dealers along a 100-mile daily route. To support this, we’ve installed a Demand Detroit eFill charger at the facility, the first of its kind at a DTNA Parts distribution center. This is a significant step forward as we continue to reduce carbon emissions and optimize sustainable logistics solutions.   This collaboration with J.B. Hunt reflects our shared commitment to a greener future. The eCascadia has already proven its efficiency in other areas of our operations, and we’re excited to expand its role. As we explore future opportunities to electrify additional routes, our focus remains on innovative solutions that enhance sustainability across our supply chain. With the support of strong partnerships, we are driving toward a zero-emission future and our commitment to leading sustainable transportation.

At Daimler Truck North America, we’re proud to continue our commitment to the community by partnering with Charlotte FC and the Alexander Youth Network to unveil a new mini pitch in Charlotte, providing local youth with a dedicated space for sports and teamwork.   This marks the second mini pitch we’ve supported, following last year’s project with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Gastonia. We’re excited to help create opportunities that positively impact the next generation.   Thank you to Natalee Jarrett, VP of Business Operations, CLTFC / MC; Joe LaBue, President, CLTFC; Jeff Allen, Senior Vice President of Operations & Specialty Vehicles, Daimler Truck North America; Lynn Crutchfield, President, Alexander Children’s Foundation; our Daimler Truck Cares team, and all of the kids and Charlotte community members for coming out to help us celebrate this great event.    #WeAreDaimlerTruck #DaimlerTruckCares #ForAllWhoKeepTheWorldMoving

Exciting progress in the EV infrastructure space! We joined Greenlane™ Infrastructure and other key partners at the groundbreaking event for Greenlane’s flagship commercial EV site in Colton, CA. This major project is a critical step to accelerate the development of commercial EV charging infrastructure along Interstate 15, supporting the transition to zero-emission vehicles for heavy-, medium-, and light-duty trucks. The event coincided with Greenlane’s announcement of a $15 million grant from the South Coast AQMD, which will accelerate development and help complete the Colton charging site by the end of 2024. A special thanks to our leaders John O'Leary and Rakesh Aneja for representing Daimler Truck North America and highlighting the critical role this project will play for the commercial trucking industry.

As a part of our corporate citizenship program, Daimler Truck Cares, we were thrilled to partner with the DTNA Athletics team, and Portland Parks and Recreation to host a free basketball clinic for local 1st to 5th graders, focusing on fundamentals and teamwork. This two-day event reflected DTNA’s commitment to giving back to the communities where we work and live. The kids worked on dribbling, shooting, and defensive skills while learning valuable lessons in sportsmanship and leadership.   A big thank you to everyone at the clinic for making this event such a success!    #WeAreDaimlerTruck #DaimlerTruckCares #DaimlerTruck
