Daimler Truck North America -- Huge Detroit Investment; Going Down Memory Lane -- WHS -- February 9, 2021

DTNA: Daimler Truck North America;
DTB: Daimler Truck and Bus

Undated but company newsletter sent to me February 9, 2021:

• Daimler's major competitors:
• PACCAR
• TRATON, Volkwagen Group: soon-to-be-owner of Navistar
• help drove DTB
• Announces: plans to introduce the Detroit ePowertrain. Not something from a car shoehorned into a truck application. Not a propulsion system bought off the shelf from a supplier. 
• No – an in-house Daimler Truck & Bus technological marvel to power our Freightliner eCascadia and eM2 and backed by the power of Detroit – our people, our technological prowess and our dealers. 
  

Today, we took another step forward into a new era for our CO₂-neutral future, the future of Detroit, the future of DTNA, and the future of Daimler Truck & Bus. See more about the ground-breaking Detroit ePowertrain at DemandDetroit.com.  

DTNA: 

• introduces Detroit ePowertrain; invests $20 million in Michigan facility. 
• initial production expected to begin in late 2021
