What’s Happening at Daimler?

Daimler Truck North America (Daimler) is planning to temporarily cut approximately 2,000 employees as it grapples with weak market demand.

“As we navigate a challenging economic environment, we’ve seen a notable slowdown in new truck orders, particularly in our medium-duty, on-highway, and electric vehicle segments,” spokesperson Andrew Johnson told FreightWaves in an email.

“To align with current market conditions, we’ve made the tough decision to implement workforce reductions across several facilities.”

The move will reportedly take effect on July 18.

Impact on Canadian Staff

It remains unclear if Canadian employees at Daimler are affected by the temporary job cuts. Reports claim staff in the US and Mexico will be impacted.

According to LinkedIn, the truck maker employs more than 60 Canadians.
