TOLUCA, STATE OF MEXICO – In the trucking industry , the difference between keeping a unit operational or taking it out of service doesn’t always depend on a business decision, but rather on the technical precision with which its components are remanufactured. In this area, Daimler Truck  ‘s Detroit REMAN Toluca Plant is committed to strengthening the role of engineering within the remanufacturing process .

Beyond the concept, the operation relies on measurement and control tools that seek to ensure that each component meets specific parameters.

The level of detail goes beyond traditional inspection . The plant integrates scanning and digitization systems that allow components to be reconstructed in three-dimensional models, making it easier to compare dimensions with original specifications.

These types of processes become crucial in an environment where many components have exceeded their initial lifecycle. Through digitization , it is possible to identify deviations, detect failures, and ensure that each part meets standards before being reintroduced into operation.

Technology also opens up another possibility: reverse engineering . In cases where certain parts are no longer available on the market, the plant can rebuild them from scans and digital models. “We are able to make engine parts that have already had a very long life cycle… it is important to recover that engineering,” explained Víctor Hugo Téllez, the plant’s general manager.

This technical approach is complemented by the plant’s operational vision . “It’s a much more advanced process… with specialized tools, digitized equipment, and access to engineering,” he noted.

The overall objective is clear: to ensure that the components not only return to operation, but do so under controlled and measurable conditions , aligned with manufacturer standards, he pointed out.

Thus, remanufacturing ceases to be a corrective process and becomes an operation based on data, precision, and technology, in a sector where every millimeter can translate into reliability… or risk along the route.

Inclusion and talent: the backbone of the operation

The operation also incorporates an inclusive approach within its structure. Of a workforce of nearly 400 employees, over 30% of the operational staff are women , while around 10% are deaf.

Beyond the numbers, the approach is linked to attracting talent in an increasingly specialized environment. “We don’t hire anyone based on a specific characteristic… we hire them because they are the best at what we do,” Téllez explained.

This approach seeks to respond to an operational need: to have trained personnel in processes where technical precision and the use of technology are increasingly crucial to maintaining quality in remanufacturing.

Daimler Truck and Toyota Motor Corporation have signed definitive agreements for the equal integration of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino Motors , an alliance that seeks to consolidate a new Japanese force in the commercial vehicle sector, based on collaboration in development, purchasing, and production.

The new company, which will be headquartered in Tokyo and led by CEO Karl Deppen , currently president of Mitsubishi Fuso, will begin operations in April 2026. It will also have more than 40,000 employees and will own 100% of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino.

Daimler Truck and Toyota, as the driving forces behind this alliance, will each own 25% of the new holding company , which is expected to be listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange .

“The integration of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino is truly historic. We are uniting two strong partners to form an even stronger company and successfully shape the decarbonization of transportation. Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino have great potential to leverage scale, which is key to the technological transformation of our industry. Karl Deppen is an experienced leader who understands the entire value chain of our business, and I am convinced he can take this new company to the next level,” said Karin Rådström, CEO of Daimler Truck.

Regarding operations in Mexico, they assured us that there will be no impact on commercial agreements or customer service . Product support and supply will continue unaffected, preserving the trust of local partners and distributors.

With this merger, the brands seek, among other factors, to consolidate Japan’s leadership in commercial vehicles in the Asia-Pacific region. Regarding the environment, the project aims to build a long-term sustainable mobility society , and the companies are seeking to help solve problems such as carbon neutrality, logistics optimization, and advancements in CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) technologies, including the use of hydrogen.

Further details, including the official name of the new company , are expected to be announced in the coming months . The closing of the deal is subject to approval by the boards, shareholders, and relevant authorities.
