Daimler Truck Financial Services Enters Polish Market, Marking Major Milestone in European Expansion Strategy
Daimler Truck Financial Services (DTFS), a key division of Daimler Truck AG, has officially launched its financing operations in Poland, underscoring its strategic objective to expand its global footprint and strengthen its role as a comprehensive mobility partner for commercial vehicle customers. This move marks a significant step in DTFS’s ongoing international growth journey and positions the company to support an increasingly vital Eastern European market.
With this entry into Poland, DTFS now offers a wide range of integrated leasing, financing, and service solutions tailored for both trucks and buses produced by Daimler Truck AG. The launch reflects the growing importance of the Polish market within the European commercial transportation sector and comes as part of a broader plan to enhance DTFS’s presence across Central and Eastern Europe. The company has also confirmed its intentions to extend its operations into the Czech Republic and Slovakia later this year, reinforcing its commitment to expanding within the region.
By the end of 2025, DTFS aims to be operational in 21 global markets, a goal that aligns with its strategy to deliver seamless, end-to-end financial and mobility services to customers around the world. With Poland becoming the 19th country in which DTFS now operates, the company is moving steadily toward that target.
A Strategic Move into a Dynamic Market
Poland, along with its neighboring countries, has witnessed robust growth in transportation and logistics in recent years. The country has emerged as a key logistics hub for Europe, serving as a gateway between Western Europe and Eastern markets. This strategic geographic positioning, combined with a rapidly growing commercial vehicle sector, presents a lucrative opportunity for DTFS to contribute meaningfully to local industry development.
“With our launch in Poland, we are strengthening our presence in one of Europe’s key growth markets,” said Stephan Unger, CEO of Daimler Truck Financial Services. “Our goal is to support the sales of Daimler Truck and to provide our customers with comprehensive solutions that go far beyond traditional financing.”
This sentiment was echoed by Magdalena Konarska, Managing Director of DTFS Central Eastern Europe, who emphasized the customer-centric nature of the expansion. “We are delighted to now be able to offer our Polish truck and bus customers integrated and flexible financing solutions, in close cooperation with Daimler Truck Polska – tailored to the requirements of the commercial vehicle sector in a dynamic market environment.”
Evolving Beyond Traditional Financial Services
As part of its evolution from a conventional financial services provider to a comprehensive partner for commercial mobility solutions, DTFS offers a wide portfolio of services that extend well beyond basic leasing and financing. These include insurance packages, rental services, and support for the growing field of electric mobility through charging infrastructure solutions. Moreover, DTFS is also introducing its own proprietary payment system, designed to streamline and simplify financial transactions for fleet operators and logistics firms.
This approach enables DTFS customers to bundle multiple services into single, fixed monthly payments – a structure that allows for greater cost transparency and budgeting flexibility. This model is already gaining traction in several markets and is expected to be well-received in Poland, where demand for flexible and scalable business solutions continues to rise.
Supporting Daimler Truck’s Broader Vision
Daimler Truck AG has outlined a long-term vision focused on providing sustainable, efficient, and reliable transportation solutions. DTFS plays a pivotal role in that strategy by enabling customers to access the vehicles and services they need through accessible, adaptable financing models. In the context of global efforts to decarbonize the transport sector and shift toward electric and alternative fuel vehicles, financial services like those offered by DTFS will be instrumental in supporting the transition.
In addition to strengthening its regional presence, DTFS is also contributing to Daimler Truck AG’s broader global growth. As of mid-2025, the company’s total contract volume — which includes leasing, financing, and insurance agreements — had reached approximately €30 billion. This figure highlights the substantial scale and impact of DTFS’s operations worldwide.
