Daimler Trucks Exhibiting Wide Range of Products at NACV Show

During the inaugural NACV Show, Daimler introduce a range of new on-highway vehicles, as well as technologically advanced engines and components.

To kick-off the inaugural North American Commercial Vehicle Show (NACV), Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will host a press conference to showcase an exciting range of on-highway and vocational trucks, along with technologically advanced engines and components. These provide the broadest range of solutions for customers looking for the most optimized fuel efficiency, safety options, durability and uptime. 

The press conference will be held Monday, September 25, at 8 a.m. It will introduce guests to the variety of exciting announcements that will take place at the four-day show in Atlanta.

Afterwards, DTNA’s 70,000-sq. ft. booth will feature interactive displays and top-selling vehicles from Freightliner Trucks, Western Star Trucks, Fuso Trucks, Mercedes-Benz Vans and Thomas Built Buses. Additionally, Detroit components, safety and telematics software demonstrations, Aftermarket, and financing services from Daimler Trucks Financial will be showcased.

The DTNA booth (#1612 and #1612.1) will spotlight almost two dozen vehicles and highlight several features of the Detroit Assurance suite of safety systems via a virtual reality simulation.

“We’re excited to share new products and new ideas, including emerging technologies that improve fuel efficiency, make roads safer and address key industry issues, such as the driver turnover rate,” says DTNA’s Roger Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer. “Daimler Trucks North America is at the forefront of not only advancing this discussion of critical issues, but accelerating the commercial availability of technologies that have immediate and lasting benefits for our customers.”

“DTNA was valuable in shaping the first NACV as a member of the show’s advisory committee,” says Joe Glionna, President of the Newcom Group of Companies, which is producing the show in tandem with Hannover Fair. “We are excited to have DTNA and all of its commercial vehicle brands represented in Atlanta.” 

The NACV exhibit will underscore how DTNA has earned a reputation for manufacturing top-quality commercial vehicles that are more than just tools to get jobs done.

“Our trucks, vans and buses are business partners that deliver consistent performance with the latest technology to boost profits,” Nielsen says. “We build vehicles designed to stand up to demanding circumstances, performing efficiently, safely and with the driver in mind. We’re proud to be best sellers with fleets, owner-operators and commercial drivers.”
