Daimler Buses North America

Daimler Buses North America (DBNA) is a commercial bus company in North America, incorporating the Orion, Setra, and Sprinter brands.

History

Freightliner, a subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler, acquired Thomas Built Buses in 1998 and Orion Bus Industries in 2001 forming DaimlerChrysler Commercial Buses North America (DCCBNA) a year later. The division of Thomas producing the SLF, Thomas Dennis, along with Orion became brands of DCCBNA. Around 2003, the SLF eventually was sold under DCCBNA via Orion's sales organization and the Thomas Dennis brand dropped. When Setra, part of DaimlerChrysler, introduced the new Setra S417 to North America, the Setra brand was added to DCCBNA. On September 25, 2006, DCCBNA officially integrated the three brands Orion, Setra, and Dodge Sprinter under the DCCBNA corporate name.

With the sale of Chrysler in 2007 by Daimler, DaimlerChrysler Commercial Buses North America became known as Daimler Commercial Buses North America. The company eventually dropped the word "Commercial" from the name and became known simply as Daimler Buses North America in 2008.
