De Duitse vrachtwagenfabrikant gaat in de Verenigde Staten een nieuwe fabriek bouwen voor speciale en langeafstandsvrachtwagens; de bouw moet eind dit jaar van start gaan en de productie staat gepland voor 2029.<\/p>\n<p>De locatie is nog niet vastgesteld; Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) onderzoekt momenteel verschillende mogelijke locaties. Er zijn noch details over de investering, noch over de jaarlijkse productiecapaciteit bekendgemaakt, maar het bedrijf geeft aan dat de nieuwe fabriek duizenden banen zal opleveren.<\/p>\n<p>Volgens het offici\u00eble persbericht dat vrijdag is gepubliceerd, zal de fabriek gebruikmaken van flexibele assemblagesystemen en geavanceerde productietechnologie, waardoor Daimler een breed scala aan vrachtwagenconfiguraties kan bouwen en sneller kan inspelen op veranderingen in de vraag van klanten.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Karin R\u00e5dstr\u00f6m noemde het project een onderdeel van de langetermijngroeiplannen van Daimler Truck voor Noord-Amerika. De groep wil zowel de productie van voertuigen voor specifieke toepassingen \u2013 zoals de bouw, gemeentelijke diensten en andere gespecialiseerde toepassingen \u2013 als de productie van wegvoertuigen uitbreiden; dit segment wordt gedomineerd door langeafstandsvrachtwagens zoals de Freightliner Cascadia.<\/p>\n<h4>Een van de meest winstgevende regio\u2019s van de groep<\/h4>\n<p>Noord-Amerika is van cruciaal belang voor Daimler Truck, omdat het van oudsher een van de meest winstgevende regio\u2019s van de groep is. Freightliner is het best verkochte merk voor zware vrachtwagens in de regio, terwijl Western Star terrein wint op de markt voor speciale voertuigen.<\/p>\n<p>Tijdens de Capital Market Day 2025 verklaarde Daimler dat DTNA een marktaandeel van 24% had bereikt in het segment van zware bedrijfsvoertuigen en beschreef het bedrijf verdere uitbreiding in dat segment als een belangrijke groeikans.<\/p>\n<p>De timing is veelzeggend. De Amerikaanse vrachtwagenmarkt werd vorig jaar hard getroffen door de onzekerheid rond het tariefbeleid van president Donald Trump, waardoor wagenparkbeheerders terughoudend waren met het plaatsen van bestellingen. De vraag begint zich sindsdien te herstellen. DTNA verkocht in het tweede kwartaal 41.687 vrachtwagens, 8% meer dan een jaar eerder, hoewel de omzet in de eerste helft van het jaar 8% lager bleef.<\/p>\n<h4>160.000 tot 180.000 voertuigen<\/h4>\n<p>Daimler heeft onlangs zijn prognose voor Noord-Amerika voor 2026 bijgesteld van 150.000-170.000 voertuigen naar 160.000-180.000. Het bedrijf heeft ook zijn verwachte gecorrigeerde omzetrendement voor de divisie fors naar boven bijgesteld, nadat het Amerikaanse Ministerie van Handel de aanvraag voor \u2018US Content\u2019 had goedgekeurd, waardoor de verwachte tarieflast is afgenomen.<\/p>\n<p>Dat geeft de nieuwe fabriek een extra strategische dimensie. Daimler produceert al grote aantallen Freightliner-vrachtwagens in Mexico, in Saltillo en Santiago Tianguistenco, voor klanten in heel Noord-Amerika.<\/p>\n<p>Door de productie binnen de VS op te voeren, wordt het bedrijf minder kwetsbaar voor toekomstige wijzigingen in de handelsregels tussen de VS en Mexico en wordt het eenvoudiger om het aandeel Amerikaanse onderdelen in zijn voertuigen te vergroten.<\/p>\n<h4>Productie in Portland stopzetten<\/h4>\n<p>Deze aankondiging komt bovendien iets meer dan een week nadat DTNA bevestigde dat het tegen het einde van dit jaar de productie van vrachtwagens in zijn historische fabriek in Portland, Oregon, zal stopzetten, wat gevolgen heeft voor ongeveer 375 banen. De productie wordt verplaatst naar Noord- en Zuid-Carolina, terwijl Portland het hoofdkantoor en het ontwikkelingscentrum van DTNA blijft.<\/p>\n<p>Daimler heeft al omvangrijke productieactiviteiten in de Carolinas, waaronder de productie van zware vrachtwagens in Cleveland (North Carolina) en de productie van middelzware vrachtwagens in Mount Holly. Dat maakt het zuidoosten van de VS een logische kandidaat voor de nieuwe fabriek, hoewel het bedrijf nog niet heeft laten weten waar deze precies zal worden gebouwd.<\/p>\n<p>De Amerikaanse investering past in een bredere herstructurering van het industri\u00eble netwerk van Daimler Truck. De belangrijkste Europese fabriek van Mercedes-Benz Trucks blijft W\u00f6rth in Duitsland, ondersteund door Aksaray in Turkije en Molsheim in Frankrijk.<\/p>\n<p>Daimler werkt ook aan de bouw van een nieuwe fabriek in Cheb, Tsjechi\u00eb, terwijl het vrachtwagens produceert in Brazili\u00eb, Argentini\u00eb, India, Zuid-Afrika en, via samenwerkingsverbanden, in China.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daimler Truck is preparing a major expansion of its North American manufacturing footprint.
