Daimler Truck Financial Services (DTFS) is the manufacturer captive finance arm for Mercedes-Benz Trucks in the UK, covering the Actros, Atego, Arocs and eActros/eAtego electric ranges. Available through the Mercedes-Benz Trucks dealer network, DTFS is the natural first port of call when buying a new Mercedes truck. Their knowledge of Mercedes residual values and their integration with the dealer network can produce competitive terms, particularly at dealer point-of-sale.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can I only use DTFS at a Mercedes dealer?
DTFS is primarily available at point-of-sale through Mercedes-Benz Trucks dealers. For used Mercedes trucks purchased outside the dealer network, independent lenders are typically more appropriate.
Does DTFS finance the eActros and eAtego?
Yes. DTFS has specific EV finance products for the eActros and eAtego, including finance lease options that protect against battery residual risk.
How does DTFS compare to Haydock or Close Brothers?
DTFS is typically most competitive on new Mercedes purchased through dealers. For used stock, Haydock and Close Brothers often win. We always compare all options.
