Additional Details
Mercedes-Benz is a German automotive brand that was founded in 1926. It is based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Mercedes-Benz AG manufactures luxury vehicles and light commercial vehicles, all branded under the Mercedes-Benz name. From November 2019 onwards, the production of Mercedes-Benz-branded heavy commercial vehicles (trucks and buses) has been managed by Daimler Truck, which separated from the Mercedes-Benz Group to form an independent entity at the end of 2021. The Israeli military selected Mercedes-Benz as its primary supplier of tank transporters and heavy trucks. In its recent military operations and confrontations, the Israeli military and security establishment utilized specific models of Mercedes-Benz vehicles designed for logistical support, heavy transport, and field medical evacuation. The supplied trucks are primarily used for heavy logistical support, transporting tanks (such as the Merkava) and armored D9 bulldozers to the front lines. -- Listed on FRA (MBG), Mercedes Benz is backed by leading sovereign wealth funds, most notably NBIM and KIA Listed on FRA (DTG), Daimler Truck is backed by leading sovereign wealth funds, most notably NBIM and KIA
