NEU!

The requirements of Mercedes-Benz AG and Daimler Truck AG for their suppliers are defined in separate sets of rules. The Mercedes-Benz Special Terms 2025, abbreviated as MBST 2025, and the Daimler Truck Special Terms 12/2024, abbreviated as DTST 12/2024, differ in structure, depth and focus.

In this training, participants receive a structured overview of both requirement systems. They learn how MBST and DTST can be implemented, managed and integrated in parallel within the company’s existing processes and management systems.

A particular focus is placed on the differences, risks and interfaces that arise when companies supply both Mercedes-Benz AG and Daimler Truck AG.

Your benefit

Participants receive a structured overview of the Mercedes-Benz Special Terms 2025 and the Daimler Truck Special Terms 12/2024 and understand the key differences, risks and interfaces between the two sets of requirements.

They learn how MBST and DTST can be assessed, managed and integrated in parallel within existing processes and management systems. This helps to clearly allocate requirements, avoid duplicated effort and prepare relevant evidence in a way that is suitable for audits and customer requirements.

The focus is on practical implementation: from quality, PPF, FMEA and logistics to product development, compliance and information security, as well as the transfer of relevant requirements into the supply chain.
