"I think it's clear to everyone that 皇冠体育app isn't just any market for us. It is the market that will determine who comes out on top in the premium segment. And Mercedes-Benz still has plenty of room to grow in 皇冠体育app," he said.

Daimler's joint venture with 皇冠体育app's BAIC Group in Beijing now produces the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and C-Class sedans as well as the GLK mid-sized SUV.

A 皇冠体育app sales executive of Mercedes-Benz revealed earlier this month that the brand will introduced more than 15 new products in the market, including a GLA SUV built at the joint venture.

Zetsche also said Daimler will expand its financing activities in 皇冠体育app to accommodate the growing number of customers who use its services to finance their car purchases.

The group plans to increase the equity base of its financing activities in 皇冠体育app by half a billion euros, he added.
