Autonomous Trucks
"The F-150 has a $12,000 cheaper base price; it has a service network; it's compatible with all the stuff that Ford truck owners already use." The Detroit 3 have long dominated the full-size pickup truck segment. That includes Daimler Trucks North America, which provides much of the current Daimler Truck AG's profits through the market dominance of the Freightliner brand. In a presentation, Daimler Truck described plans to reduce fixed costs, capital expenditures and research development spending 15% by 2025 compared to 2019. That reduces Daimler Trucks' outlay for hydrogen-powered vehicles that both it and Volvo plan to produce in the second half of the decade.
