Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) announced that it has appointed current Thomas Built Buses President and CEO Caley Edgerly to the role of general manager of operations planning and quality at DTNA.

Edgerly joined Daimler in 1994, starting as a quality engineer at Detroit Diesel Corp. (DDC). He later became the director of product development and growth for Detroit Diesel Reman where he was responsible for engineering and development at six plant locations. Since that time, the company says he has held increasing roles of responsibility at DTNA, including vice president and general manager of DDC, vice president of operations at TBB, and, for the past six years, president and CEO of TBB. Edgerly replaces Sungsoo Lee, who is retiring after 34 years with Daimler and its affiliates.
