By GlobalDataDaimler Truck Financial Services CEO Stephan Unger said: “We are very happy to welcome our new colleagues in the UK. UK is an important market for us and plays a key role in our global strategy. All over the world, we see growth opportunities for new finance products and service solutions to support the transfer to e-transportation or in connectivity services.”
The launch followed the spin-off of Daimler Truck from its former parent entity Daimler AG in December last year. Managing director Nick Andrews is leading the new UK team.
Andrews said: “This is a tremendously exciting time to be launching our new business, not least because of the alternative fuels revolution now underway. UK operators can already choose battery-electric rigid trucks such as the FUSO eCanter and Mercedes-Benz eActros.
“Transformative products like these require new and innovative approaches to the business of funding their acquisition and operation. We will support our customers on their journeys to a more sustainable, environmentally-friendly future, by offering leasing, financing and insurance products tailored to these new technologies.”
