Environment
Daimler Trucks North America LLC’s commitment to the environment includes not only designing the most fuel-efficient vehicles possible, but also reducing emissions and waste in all the company’s operations.
In 2004, Daimler Trucks North America LLC opened an advanced wind tunnel testing facility nears its headquarters in Portland, Oregon. Over the coming years, the company will use data and experience from the wind tunnel testing to refine the aerodynamics on its trucks with the overall objective of reducing fuel consumption and emissions. New heavy-duty vehicle diesel engines installed in Daimler Trucks North America LLC vehicles include systems designed to reduce emission of nitrous oxide and particulate matter. In addition, the company has explored advanced concepts like fuel cell auxiliary power units. Already, Daimler Trucks North America LLC products offer engines powered by alternative fuels.
Daimler Trucks North America's commitment to sustainable production has enabled the company to continually reduce generation of solid and liquid waste, as well as air emissions from its manufacturing operations. Environmental engineers are employed in all Daimler Trucks North America facilities to monitor the entire manufacturing process from the purchase of environmentally-friendly materials to the disposal and recycling of waste.
