Daimler Truck

Initiative Application Process

We are one of the world's largest commercial vehicle manufacturers, with 35 main locations around the globe and approx. 100,000 employees. We offer light, medium and heavy-duty trucks, city and intercity buses, coaches and bus chassis. Tailored financial services are also part of our portfolio.

Worldwide, our customers count on our vehicles to reliably transport people and goods to their destinations. Our trucks and buses form the backbone of the economy and society.

We work for all who keep the world moving. That is our purpose. It drives us to continuously improve our products and solutions, and to support our customers even better. More efficient, more digital, emission-free – we invented the truck and the bus, and we have been reinventing them ever since.

Our suppliers around the world make a significant contribution to this success. As a potential partner, you can become part of our global supplier network, provided the required qualifications and standards are met.

Before submitting your application, please review our requirements carefully. We expect our suppliers to demonstrate responsible business practices and to engage in fair, transparent, and trustworthy collaboration throughout the entire value chain.

Your unsolicited supplier application will be forwarded to the responsible Procurement organization for review. Please understand that submission of an application does not guarantee a future business relationship.

Requirements for a possible, joint collaboration:

  • Business Partner Standards: Daimler Truck's Business Partner Standards form the foundation of every business relationship with our suppliers. To ensure these standards are upheld throughout our global supply chains, we maintain ongoing dialogue with our suppliers and conduct regular assessments to support compliance.
  • Purchasing Conditions: Here you will find all the standards, policies and further information on the purchase conditions of the Daimler Truck AG. 
  • Completed Compliance Awareness Training
  • DUNS-Number: In order to be approved you need to apply for a so-called D-U-N-S number (data Universal numbering system). You will receive the number free of charge via the universal identification system on the UPIK platform (unique partner identification key). Without a valid DUNS number, an application at our company is not possible.
