Mercedes-Benz makes the most beautiful cars.
The readers of the automotive magazine “Auto Zeitung”
vote for their favorite cars with the most exciting
designs. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class wins in the com-
pact segment, and the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting
Brake not only takes first place in the wagon/sedan
category but is also voted the most beautiful car
of any segment.
A new research and development center in India. With
its 1,200 employees, Mercedes-Benz Research and
Development India (MBRDI) in Bangalore is Daimler’s
largest research and development center outside
Germany and the largest and most modern R&D center
of any German automaker in India.
World premiere of the new Mercedes-Benz Atego.
Thanks to a rigorous lightweight engineering process,
state-of-the-art Euro VI engines and a powertrain
that is tuned to specific applications, the new Mercedes-
Benz Atego achieves record values for fuel efficiency,
driving performance and total cost of ownership.
Daimler van joint venture in China opens new research
and development center. After only two years of con-
struction, the new research and development center
of the Chinese vans joint venture Fujian Benz Automotive
Corporation is officially opened in Fuzhou.
Monitorship successfully concluded at Daimler. The
monitorship that had been agreed on with the SEC
ends as scheduled on March 31, 2013. The monitor
Louis Freeh and his team, who have investigated
Daimler for three years, confirm that the company
now sets standards with regard to integrity and
compliance.
Daimler’s earnings drop year-on-year in first quarter.
Many markets did not perform as well as expected in
the first three months of the year. Daimler’s revenue
and sales were nonetheless almost unchanged from the
same period of 2012. At €917 million, EBIT is lower
than in the prior year. A significant earnings improve-
ment is expected for the following quarters.
