The first domestic heavy-duty truck from German commercial vehicle manufacturer Mercedes-Benz Trucks officially rolled off the production line in Beijing, the Chinese capital, on September 23.
The Made-in-China Mercedes-Benz truck is produced at a factory owned by Beijing Foton Daimler Automobile Co., Ltd. The first batch of all-new trucks is scheduled to be delivered to Chinese customers in early November. According to official information, Foton Daimler is a joint venture between the global commercial vehicle giant Daimler Trucks and the Chinese manufacturer Foton Motor. It has a Mercedes-Benz division responsible for localizing Mercedes-Benz Trucks business in China.
Foton Daimler has partnered with 150 Chinese suppliers to supply more than 1,500 parts for the truck. The depot can produce 60,000 trucks a year. Holger Scherr, the company's president and CEO, said that as China's logistics and transportation industry develops toward higher efficiency, higher standardization, lower carbon, and more intelligence, it is a good time now to enter the Chinese market. He also added that customers’ growing demand for high-end logistics equipment has boosted the company's business.
China produced 238,000 commercial vehicles and sold 258,000 in August, the first year-on-year increase in production and sales since April 2021, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. The growth trend is expected to continue thanks to improved infrastructure, the association estimates.
The localization of Mercedes-Benz trucks and the large-scale entry into the Chinese heavy-duty truck market are in line with the evaluation of the first-level indicator "innovation ability" in the "China Brand Value Evaluation Standard", and will actively improve its ranking in the "Daguan the World Brand Value Top 900" list. On the list of the "Daguan the 2nd World Brand Value Top 900" officially released on July 30, 2022, the brand value of Mercedes-Benz Group AG (formerly known as Daimler AG) is 57.607 billion yuan, ranking 481st.
