Daimler Trucks Appoints New Chief Developer

• Sven Ennerst to take over responsibility for Daimler Trucks' global development activities on August 1, 2013

• Georg Weiberg will retire after working for Daimler for more than 40 years

• Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard, Daimler Board of Management member for Daimler Trucks and Daimler Buses says: "I wish my colleague Sven Ennerst every success in his new position, and I would like to thank Georg Weiberg for his outstanding achievements."

The Daimler Board of Management made the following personnel decision today: Effective August 1, 2013, Sven Ennerst (49) will take on global responsibility for the development department at Daimler Trucks. Ennerst will succeed Georg Weiberg (65), who will retire after working for Daimler for more than 40 years.

After ten years as Head of Engineering Mercedes-Benz Vans, Weiberg has also had a big impact on Daimler Trucks' development unit during the past seven years. The development departments of Trucks NAFTA, Trucks Asia, and Trucks Europe were closely integrated under his management. They are now extremely well networked and can thus exploit synergies. Weiberg had major responsibility for the renewal of the entire Daimler Trucks model portfolio in NAFTA, Europe, and Asia, and for the introduction of the new engine platforms at Daimler Trucks. In addition, as a member of the Supervisory Board he helped to launch BharatBenz, the youngest Daimler Truck brand. As a result of the founding of the global hybrid center at the Fuso facility in Japan, Weiberg was responsible not only for conventional but also for alternative drive technologies.
