At Daimler Truck, sustainability is at the heart of our strategy. Mercedes-Benz Trucks Molsheim is fully in line with this dynamic by obtaining ISO 50001 certification.
This standard is dedicated to energy efficiency. It aims to optimize the site’s energy consumption while maintaining equivalent vehicle production. It complements our previous certifications, namely ISO 9001 (quality management system), ISO 14001 (environmental management system) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management system). These certifications reflect our ongoing commitment to quality, environmental management and workplace safety.
Concrete Actions to Improve Our Energy Performance
For several years now, MBTM has been implementing concrete measures to limit its environmental impact. One of the most significant initiatives is the installation of 13,000m² of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of our two parking lots, which generate approximately 20% of the site's electricity consumption.
A Long-Term Vision
This certification supports the objectives of Daimler Truck's ‘Green Production’ initiative, which aims for a gradual reduction of CO₂ emissions, improved energy efficiency, increased use of renewable energies, and a reduction of waste across the group's industrial sites.
Worldwide, Daimler Truck recorded a 13.8% decrease in CO₂ emissions linked to production in 2024 compared to the previous year, and a 35.3% reduction compared to 2021. These results are the outcome of coordinated actions, among which the actions at Molsheim contribute.
Acting Today for Tomorrow
This new certification represents a significant and encouraging step in our commitment to more responsible energy management. However, there are still areas for improvement in order to fully achieve our long-term goals.
Recognizing that the energy transition is a long-term process, we are pursuing our efforts with determination, capitalising on what works and improving where we can.
