Daimler Truck stock gets new Australia Pacific CEO

Daimler Truck appointed Craig Cubitt as chief executive of its Australia Pacific business effective Sunday, November 1, according to NZ Trucking. The change covers operations supporting Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Freightliner customers in Australia and New Zealand.

Regional leadership shifts in Australia

Cubitt succeeds Daniel Whitehead, who led the regional business since 2014. Before taking the new role, Cubitt had served as chief executive of Daimler Truck Financial Services since 2021 and held senior positions across Daimler Truck and Mercedes-Benz in Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong.

Torsten Schmidt, chief executive of Daimler Truck's ISEAA region, said Cubitt's people-first leadership would build on the strengths of the truck and service businesses. The appointment is a regional operating change rather than a new group financial forecast, so investors will look to upcoming company results for evidence of broader performance.
