Transportation Matters - The CEO Podcast of Daimler Truck Daimler Truck AG

Daimler Truck is currently building its new logistics site for the worldwide spare parts supply of Mercedes-Benz Trucks in Saxony-Anhalt. Of course, the convenient location in the heart of Europe plays an important role here - but Saxony-Anhalt is also doing a lot right beyond that. In an interview with Daimler Truck CEO Martin Daum, Minister President Dr. Reiner Haseloff explains why location development is a top priority for him, how he convinces companies to locate in his state, how he wants to use the transformation of the economy towards CO2 neutrality to move Saxony-Anhalt forward - and why a positive image of Germany is so important for the prosperity of us all.

The Schwarz Group is best known for its Lidl and Kaufland retail chains. But the international retailer based in Baden-Württemberg is also a true pioneer when it comes to digitalization. Rolf Schumann, Co-CEO of Schwarz Digits, and Daimler Truck CEO Martin Daum talk about the potential of data and AI, about hypes - and about how to really inspire IT specialists.

Martin Daum discusses the journey to CO2 neutrality with Dr Stefan Hartung, Chairman of the Board of Management of Robert Bosch GmbH: What does it take to master the transformation to emission-free transport? What role do global companies such as Daimler Truck and Bosch play in this? And why are energy prices a crucial success factor?

Hydrogen plays a crucial role in the transformation: it is a versatile energy source, storage, and carrier, but how can a hydrogen economy become a reality? What could the required infrastructure look like in our near future? Who will bear the associated costs? And how can the truck industry use hydrogen profitably? Martin Daum discusses all of this with Dr Sopna Sury. She is responsible for the hydrogen strategy of the global energy company RWE and explains what challenges and opportunities energy suppliers see and what specific goals RWE has set itself.

In the first episode of the year, Martin Daum chats with Germany’s former Vice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel about issues that will shape 2024: How is the world order changing and what does this mean for Europe? How can we as a society bear the costs of the energy transition in a socially responsible and fair way? Why is de-globalization not an option and why is it so important to vote in the European elections? And what does geopolitics have to do with entrepreneurial risk management? An exciting discussion on questions to which there are no simple answers..

On its way to sustainable transportation, Europe has reached a critical stretch: More and more zero-emission vehicles are available, but there are still too few on the roads and in everyday use. The question is: What are the missing links and how can they be tackled? Martin Daum discusses this with Sigrid de Vries, Director General of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA).
