Supplier Diversity | Daimler Truck North America

Driving Diversity

We promote diverse-owned businesses to foster an inclusive economic environment.

Our Diverse Suppliers are businesses owned and operated by individuals from historically underrecognized groups.

To contribute to economic empowerment, DTNA partners with diverse suppliers to develop a robust and resilient supply chain.
