Thomas Built Buses's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Daimler Truck Holding AG

Thomas Built Buses, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Daimler Truck Holding AG, which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family relationship, Thomas Built Buses inherits emissions data and sustainability initiatives from Daimler Truck Holding AG. However, no specific reduction targets or achievements have been outlined for Thomas Built Buses itself. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be aligning its climate strategies with those of its parent organisation. Daimler Truck Holding AG has been active in addressing climate change, and any relevant targets or commitments from this parent company may indirectly impact Thomas Built Buses's approach to carbon emissions and sustainability. As the industry continues to evolve, it is essential for Thomas Built Buses to establish its own measurable targets and initiatives to contribute effectively to climate action.
