Pivot to military vehicles Yes, Mercedes-Benz and its commercial arm Daimler Truck still manufacture and develop military and defense-related vehicles in Germany. Where and What They Manufacture in Germany • Wörth am Rhein & Molsheim: Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks develops and builds military and defense vehicles in Germany (along with facilities in France), providing specialized platforms for the EU, NATO, and global armies. • Daimler Truck Defence: The group bundles its global military truck and logistics operations under this umbrella brand, targeting growth in tactical transport and support. • Core Military Vehicle Portfolio: • Unimog: Extreme off-road tactical and logistics vehicles. • Zetros: Heavy-duty off-road military trucks (available in configurations like 4x4 up to 8x8). • A-Series Trucks: Militarized and protected variants of the Atego, Actros, and Arocs (6x6) used for medium-to-heavy transport and semitrailer operations. • G-Class Military Variants: The platform underlying military utility vehicles like the Wolf and cooperative air-assault platforms (such as the Caracal, built in partnership with Rheinmetall and ACS Armoured Car Systems). • Anti-Drone / Mission Platforms: Mercedes-Benz has also expanded into mobile air-defense and anti-drone mission vehicle platforms based on the G-Class and Sprinter lines.
