        Siemens Digital Industrial Software is working with Daimler Trucks to build a digital engineering platform using the Siemens Xcelerator software and services portfolio. This new platform will enable Daimler Trucks to explore the future of commercial vehicle innovation and efficient product development and lifecycle management for trucks and buses, and will be rolled out globally across Daimler Trucks' engineering centres, brands and business units.
 
 
        Dr. Andreas Gorbach, Member of the Board of Daimler Trucks, said: "We have decided to expand our cooperation with Siemens to create a globally integrated IT and engineering environment for Daimler Trucks. This will help us to build the future of mobility with state-of-the-art technology and make our customers' businesses more successful." A unified IT environment will allow us to take a big step forward in our engineering activities. Enabling a transparent and efficient end-to-end engineering process with the new development platform allows us to become more agile and reduce our time to market." 
        This new digital platform will feature Teamcenter software for lifecycle management (PLM) and bill of materials (BOM) management, a move that expands Daimler Trucks' use of the Siemens Xcelerator family of products. This environment integrates Daimler's workflows, systems and associated mechanical design, electrical design and simulation data. 
        Since becoming independent, Daimler Trucks has embarked on digitalisation initiatives to migrate away from Daimler AG's legacy systems, initiatives intended to lead the way in sustainable transport with intelligent IT innovations. 
        Daimler Trucks has adopted a global platform approach, which means that the development of key components and vehicle platforms in one go, followed by a global roll-out across brands and markets, is the fundamental guiding principle. For this to happen, global cloud-based collaboration and a common platform for digital engineering systems are required, which is why Daimler Trucks has chosen Siemens as the technology and implementation provider to build this next-generation engineering digital environment.
