Ryan Joseph Ramos May 7, 2013

In order to get stronger results from its commercial vehicles division, Daimler has been working hard to establish itself in new growth markets, particularly in Asia and Africa.

Important facilities within the region are major contributors to the division’s growth. Among these facilities are the Kawasaki, Japan-based Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC), as well as the Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) facility in Chennai, India.

Mercedes Posts Anime Vid To Introduce A-Class

Emmanuel P November 15, 2012

As the saying goes, “When in Rome…”, well, you know the rest. Following the weird and wonderful culture that is Japan, Mercedes-Benz has posted an anime video to introduce the A-Class. Unlike Western countries where cartoons and comics are for tots, manga and anime aficionados in Japan span generations. So, it’s actually an inspired choice for Mercedes-Benz to use an anime video to introduce their compact car. Japan is a country where Kei cars are a common sight, so the A-Class isn’t actually that small for the Japanese. If sales in other regions are any indication, the A-Class will also be a hit in Japan, and we look forward to… Continue Reading »
