Cognizant announced a multi‑year partnership with Daimler Truck, one of the world’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturers, to modernise the manufacturer’s global workplace services using its WorkNEXT™ platform, a flexible digital fabric powered by AI.

The deal marks a significant expansion of Cognizant’s AI‑enabled solutions into the industrial sector, positioning the company as a strategic technology partner for Daimler Truck’s worldwide operations and reinforcing its pipeline of large AI‑led opportunities.

WorkNEXT™ will embed AI and automation at the core of Daimler Truck’s workplace experience, creating an adaptive, human‑centric environment across factories and offices. The platform’s design focuses on improving employee satisfaction, operational resilience, and efficiency through intelligent workflow orchestration.

Daimler Truck has been advancing its own AI agenda, launching the company‑wide LibreChat platform in February 2026 and exploring AI for policy‑management applications. The new partnership dovetails with the manufacturer’s broader digital transformation strategy and its focus on integrating AI across operations.

Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S said, “We are proud to work with one of the world’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturers as they embark on this AI‑led global transformation of their workplace services. By applying artificial intelligence at the core of the workplace, alongside automation, human‑centric design and responsible governance, we are helping enable a more intelligent, resilient and future‑ready environment for Daimler Truck’s global workforce.”

Cognizant’s recent Q4 2025 earnings, reported on February 4 2026, showed an EPS of $1.35 versus analyst expectations of $1.32, while revenue of $5.30 billion fell slightly short of the $5.31 billion forecast. The earnings beat reflects disciplined cost management amid a modest revenue miss, underscoring the company’s focus on maintaining profitability while investing in AI capabilities.

The contract value and duration were not disclosed, but the multi‑year partnership is expected to generate recurring revenue and deepen Cognizant’s footprint with a high‑profile client, reinforcing its position in the high‑margin AI‑driven services market.
