130 Years of Forward 🚛💚💻

It's been 130 years since Gottlieb Daimler invented the world’s first truck in 1896 – andDaimler Truck AG and tb.lx are celebrating a legacy defined not just by history, but by progress.

From the very beginning, Daimler Truck has been at the heart of global transportation. In 1896 Gottlieb Daimler’s invention, the first Daimler motorized truck, was based on a converted horse-drawn goods wagon and delivered to a customer in London. In France too, the Daimler truck was a welcome guest as Gottlieb Daimler traveled with it through the streets of Paris to publicize his new product at the world exhibition a few years later. What started with a pioneering invention 130 years ago laid the foundation for a new industry.

"Ever since, trucks and buses have helped keeping economies running and societies connected around the world. Whether it is through haulers transporting goods from ports and warehouses to supermarkets, construction sites and hospitals. Whether it is through transport providers bringing people to work, children to school or families on vacation. Or through public services that keep our streets and cities clean – with trucks supporting municipalities in waste collection, recycling, and essential urban services."

Today, Daimler Truck stands strong with committed teams and around 100,000 employees across the globe and a broad portfolio of leading brands, products, and services its customers can rely on. With market-leading positions in key regions and a clear lead in zero-emission trucking in Europe with a 35 percent market share in medium- and heavy-duty battery-electric trucks in 2025, the company continues to shape the future of transportation.

The next revolution in sustainable mobility won't arrive in the shape of a new vehicle. It'll be written in lines of code. 🚛 💡

Adrien Bestel, Principal Engineer at tb.lx, a Daimler Truck AG tech company powering transportation innovation, shares a sharp and timely perspective on why data, connectivity, and intelligent system integration are the real engines of change in sustainable mobility.

From predictive AI and smarter fleet management to the deep integration of EVs with energy infrastructure, Adrien makes a compelling case: electrification is only as powerful as the software that supports and orchestrates it. Managing that complexity isn't just a technology challenge, it's an engineering architecture challenge.

And the insight that sticks? The next big breakthrough won't come from full vehicle autonomy. It will come from systems that work reliably, interoperably, and in deep integration with each other.

👉 Read the full article and let us know what you think: https://tek.sapo.pt/opiniao/artigos/software-o-acelerador-invisivel-da-mobilidade-sustentavel/

Adrien Bestel defende que os dados, a conetividade e a capacidade de orquestrar sistemas complexos em tempo real foram o maior motor de transformação da mobilidade. No horizonte próximo o maior impacto será da integração inteligente.

💡 Empowering Change: Paula Brochado on Women in Tech 💡

We’re shining a spotlight on an inspiring article by our Head of Product, Paula Brochado, published in Revista Visão.

Paula challenges us to think beyond just getting women to the top and asks: "What did we do once we got there? Do we want more women in power, or do we want to redefine what power means?"

📖 In her article, Paula discusses the glass ceiling, systemic gender inequality, and the crucial role of diversity in tech. She argues that true inclusion must be more than a slogan, it needs to be a daily practice.

A pergunta que importa não é quantas mulheres chegaram ao topo, é o que fizemos quando lá chegámos. Queremos só mais mulheres no poder, ou queremos um novo significado de poder?
