Product Engineering (PE)

Product Engineering

We take pride in fostering innovation in traditional diesel platforms and emerging technologies like battery electric, fuel cell, and hydrogen propulsion. Our engineers lead innovation, advancing sustainability with a focus on futuristic technologies. Through expertise in electric and hydrogen propulsion, we navigate the evolving automotive landscape, ensuring Daimler Truck remains at the forefront of the industry’s drive towards environmental responsibility. The Product Engineering competence at Daimler Truck is structured into three specialized units, ensuring end-to-end control of the digital product lifecycle.

From conceptualization to rigorous digital validation, optimization of manufacturing processes, and meticulous aftersales engineering, our team executes each phase with technical precision. Prioritizing the integration of cutting-edge technologies, we strengthen operational efficiency and elevate technical standards in commercial vehicle development. We innovate, validate, and seamlessly integrate solutions throughout the product lifecycle.

Concepts

The collaborative efforts of our vehicle team span the spectrum, encompassing tasks from conceptualizing intricate vehicle layouts and seamlessly integrating powertrains to managing digital mockups, and conducting precise considerations for height, weight, and variant planning. Furthermore, the team ensures meticulous adherence to technical standards, rigorous control of product data, streamlined release management, and offering consultations for comprehensive program management.

Design Engineering

Our design engineers operate at the forefront, delving into intricate domains such as propulsion systems, chassis architecture, cabin, and bus body engineering, wiring harness, and comprehensive vehicle design. Their technical expertise across this multifaceted spectrum is integral to the precise execution and success of Daimler Truck’s initiatives.

Engineering Validation

The validation team plays a central role in digitally validating designs, diminishing the need for physical mockups and effectively lowering our carbon footprint. Their expertise extends across crucial domains such as NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness), durability evaluations, crash simulations, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), High Voltage (HV) powernet integration, and comprehensive system and vehicle simulations.

Manufacturing Engineering

Executing sophisticated concepts relies on our Manufacturing Engineering team. At the forefront, they research and develop advanced tools, processes, and equipment. They integrate facilities and systems, ensuring high-quality truck production at optimal costs. Engaging in layout planning, equipment planning, logistic and industrial engineering, their expertise converges to streamline production with precision.

Customer Services Engineering

Customer Services Engineering team’s core responsibilities include handling technical inquiries, troubleshooting, and conducting thorough issue diagnostics, involving meticulous research for effectivesolutions. Contributing actively to critical domains like parts management, service management, diagnostics, remanufacturing, and comprehensive training and development, the team plays a pivotal role in ensuring sustained functionality and customer satisfaction throughout the entire lifecycle of our products.
