The companies stated that they aim to align their product portfolio more closely with the needs of customers in other regions and prepare long-term support through replacement parts and services. The partnership follows a contract awarded in 2024 under the LVM power team, confirming their capacity to deliver large-scale logistics solutions.
Franziska Cusumano, CEO Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks, said: “With General Dynamics Land Systems at our side, we want to offer comprehensive solutions for armies worldwide, from basic vehicles to tailor-made equipment and chassis, to comprehensive long-term service and support. Our successful collaboration on the Canadian LVM contract has already shown the potential of this partnership.”
Dave Paddock, President of General Dynamics Land Systems, said: “Our collaboration with Daimler Truck on Canada’s LVM program has shown us that we have the knowledge and experience to take our tried-and-tested model internationally with the objective of offering the right solutions for militaries on both sides of the Atlantic.”
