Mpho Matseba to Lead FUSO Trucks in Southern Africa

Daimler Truck Southern Africa has confirmed the appointment of Mpho Matseba as Head of FUSO Trucks Southern Africa.

Her promotion follows two years of leading FUSO Sales, where she worked to strengthen commercial performance and deepen ties with customers and dealers.

Mpho’s career with Daimler spans more than twenty years, during which she has built a reputation for operational focus and close collaboration with both customers and internal teams.

In her new role she will oversee the dedicated FUSO division, taking responsibility for strategy, sales, marketing, customer experience, parts, aftersales and supply chain management. The aim is to ensure the brand continues to grow sustainably under the Daimler Truck Southern Africa umbrella.

Speaking about her appointment, Mpho said she is honoured to be entrusted with the role and grateful for the opportunity to lead a brand with such a strong legacy in both local and cross-border markets.

She added that having worked closely with customers and the dealer network in her previous role, she looks forward to building on this foundation and continuing to drive a customer-first approach.

Her appointment comes at a time of global change for the FUSO brand. Daimler Truck AG and Toyota Motor Corporation are integrating Hino Motors and Mitsubishi Fuso under a new holding company, ARCHION Group. Locally, however, Daimler Truck Southern Africa has confirmed that operations, dealer networks and aftersales support remain unchanged.

Maretha Gerber, President and Group CEO of Daimler Truck Southern Africa, welcomed the appointment, noting that Mpho has consistently demonstrated strong leadership, deep commercial insight and a clear commitment to customers in her previous roles. Gerber said her appointment ensures continuity and stability for the FUSO business in Southern Africa, while positioning the brand for sustained success under the DTSA umbrella.
