Daimler Truck Financial (DTF), a business unit of Mercedes-Benz Financial Services USA, is rolling out a new finance program for Freightliner and Western Star vocational trucks in the construction segment while Mack Financial Services (MFS) is offering several finance programs to help customers of all segments during the current coronavirus situation.
“We know that customers in the construction segment have different business cycles and credit requirements. We will work together with our team at Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) to provide financing solutions that fit their needs,” said Tobias Waldeck, head of Daimler Truck Financial. “This program is just one of a number of options we offer to help our customers run their businesses and keep the world moving.”
In addition to offering qualified buyers up to 120 days to make their first payment, DTF has several vocational-specific finance alternatives and custom finance packages including retail loans, seasonal and skip payments, multiple lease options and flexible payment terms.
“Now more than ever, local collaboration with our global partners at DTF will deliver holistic support for our construction customers,” said David Carson, senior vice president, Vocational sales and marketing, DTNA. “Whether before buying, during the purchase process, or to keep our customers up and running – we are here for them.”
MFS is offering four finance programs, all of which extend the first payment date for qualified buyers. Programs are for model year 2020 and 2019 Mack Anthem, Mack Pinnacle, Mack Granite, Mack LR and Mack TerraPro models.
“We’ve always recognized how vital trucking is to society, but it’s never been as evident to the general population as it is now,” said Tom Guse, president of MFS in the U.S. “It’s critical that deliveries are made and construction projects continue, so MFS developed these enhanced finance programs to help our customers with their operations during the current situation.”
