Daimler Truck Financial Services has joined forces with Raiffeisen Leasing in Romania, signaling a new era in European financial service offerings. This collaboration stands as a testament to the company’s vision for the European heavy truck sector, showcasing Romania as a burgeoning hub in this industry.
Bernd Barth, leader of Daimler Truck Financial Services in Europe and South America, articulated the significance of this venture: “With Romania, we are now active in nine major European countries offering our truck and bus customers integrated financial services.”
This partnership debuts with a novel, all-encompassing four-year financing package for the Mercedes-Benz Actros L, covering maintenance and wear parts. This service, accessible via Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ authorized partners, represents an ingenious blend of financing and vehicle procurement, offering customers a streamlined experience.
Romania, with its rapid ascension to become the sixth-largest heavy truck market in Europe, has demonstrated a robust annual growth rate of 4.1% since 1994. This upward trajectory resonates with Daimler Truck Financial Services’ ambition to fortify its European presence.
Future expansions into the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia are on the horizon, to penetrate 12 major European commercial vehicle markets by 2025. This expansion strategy reflects a keen insight into the evolving demands of the European commercial vehicle sector.
Central to Daimler Truck Financial Services’ vision is the transition towards eco-friendly transportation. The company is actively exploring cutting-edge service solutions in charging and e-infrastructure to foster this shift. These initiatives promise not only growth but also a commitment to eco-conscious mobility.
Emerging opportunities in fleet management and the integration of connectivity services also highlight the company’s innovative approach in the realm of commercial vehicle financing.
Commanding a global contract volume that exceeds 27 billion euros as of Q3 2023, Daimler Truck Financial Services is strategically positioned to redefine the commercial vehicle financing and service landscape in Europe and beyond. The company’s collaboration with Raiffeisen Leasing in Romania stands as a bold commitment to expanding its global influence while adapting to the dynamic market needs.
