Daimler Truck Financial Services launched a partnership with Raiffeisen Leasing, a financial service provider in Romania offering financing and leasing to Romanian truck and bus customers.

The first product from the partnership is a four-year, full-service financing offer for the Mercedes-Benz Actros L, including maintenance and wear parts. The product will be offered by authorized Mercedes-Benz Trucks partners.

“With Romania, we are now active in nine major European countries offering our truck and bus customers integrated financial services,” Bernd Barth, head of Daimler Truck Financial Services in Europe and South America, said.

Daimler Truck Financial Services has already announced its plans to establish business in the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. The captive will then be able to offer truck and bus customers financial services in 12 major European commercial vehicle markets in 2025.
