Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), the Indian arm of German auto giant Daimler AG, announced that Satyakam Arya, currently Head of Customer Services at Daimler Trucks Asia, and Chairman of PABCO Ltd, will be DICV’s new Managing Director and CEO.
He will succeed Erich Nesselhauf, who will return to the Daimler headquarters in Germany, to take over the global responsibility for Manufacturing Engineering at Daimler Trucks, effective October 1, 2018, a statement said.
Nesselhauf joined Daimler Trucks’ Indian project organisation in 2008 and built the local procurement and supply chain strategies from the ground-up. Under his leadership, the company achieved a production milestone of 1 lakh vehicles since 2012, with domestic sales of more than 75,000 BharatBenz trucks in India.
Satyakam Arya joined DICV in 2009 as the Head of powertrain procurement before becoming its Vice-President of global procurement. He established the entire supply-chain network for DICV and helped build India into an important part of the Daimler production system.
“With Satyakam Arya we are confident that we have found the right leader to continue the growth trajectory and take Daimler India Commercial Vehicles to the next level,” said Martin Daum, member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, Daimler Trucks & Buses.
