For more than 20 years, Morgan has played a pivotal role in Daimler Truck North America’s IT success, from building our digital foundation to now leading cybersecurity initiatives that keep us protected from today’s complex digital challenges. He joined at the end of the dot-com era and contributed to implementing our PartsPro system—still essential to our operations today. Now, Morgan leads the team protecting DTNA’s global network, securing 80,000 identities across IT infrastructure, manufacturing plants, and dealerships. “If we’re doing our job right, you won’t even know we’re here,” he notes.

Daimler Truck North America is excited to announce the launch of our first battery-electric Freightliner eCascadia to be used for inbound logistics at Demand Detroit's plant in Redford, Michigan! This marks another significant step in our commitment to decarbonizing our logistics operations. The eCascadia will be integrated into DTNA’s activities at the Detroit Logistics Center, transporting critical components between our offsite warehouse and production facility. The electric truck deployed in Detroit’s shuttle program will be operated by Load One, LLC, a valued freight solutions provider since 2018, especially for their commitment to safety and on-time delivery. “Detroit’s operation is focused on driving efficiency in today’s market while preparing for growth over the coming years,” said Matthew Pfaffenbach, Detroit plant manager. “Investment in key partnerships, like our relationship with Load One, is critical to maintaining success as our industry transforms in the years to come.” At DTNA, we remain steadfast in our commitment to sustainability, continually seeking innovative solutions that minimize our environmental impact and foster a cleaner future for the transportation industry.
