RMA AUTOMOTIVE DAIMLER TRUCK FRAMEWORK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Bangkok, August 25th, 2022 – RMA Automotive have entered into a Framework Purchase Agreement with Daimler Truck AG. This agreement is independent of and separate to the Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicles Framework Purchase Agreement entered into between RMA Automotive and Mercedes-Benz in March of this year.

Daimler Truck is one of the world’s largest  vehicle manufacturers. The company split from Mercedes-Benz in December 2021 and manufactures extensive lines of heavy duty Trucks and Busses.

It employs over  100,000 people at more than 40 manufacturing locations in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America with  numerous sales and service locations in most countries in the world.

Under the agreement, RMAA will now be able to purchase Daimler Trucks directly from Daimler for the purposes of modification and conversion and for resell of these trucks worldside (excluding blacklisted and sanctioned countries).

Pricing is set almost at wholesale level which puts RMAA in a very competitive position to sell modified and built-for-purpose Daimler Trucks.

The available range of trucks covers the Mercedes-Benz Actros series, Atego, Arocs, Econic, Unimog and Zetros.

A part of the Daimler Trucks division, Mercedes-Benz Trucks has been a hallmark of premium quality for more than 100 years.
