Mercedes-Benz Actros models tailored to cater to demands of customers in China
The production portfolio of BFDA at the new plant in Huairou comprises of two tractor product lines, both developed based on the flagship model, Mercedes-Benz Actros, from #daimler Truck’s global heavy-duty platform. Since the launch of the first generation of Actros in 1996, more than 1.5 million units of the model were sold worldwide.
The localized Mercedes-Benz Actros from BFDA comes with the state-of-the-art third-generation OM471 engine, as the benchmark choice for optimized transportation efficiency. The Mercedes-Benz Actros C model is the upgrading choice for customers with flexible logistics patterns. Both localized product lines are thoroughly engineered according to Mercedes-Benz Trucks standards to reliably serve the needs of customers in #china. Local know-how, value contribution and supplier development, combined with #daimler Truck’s global Research & Development and manufacturing expertise ensure highest quality standards.
Dr. Holger Scherr, President and CEO of Beijing Foton #daimler #automotive Co. Ltd.: “To fulfill the growing market expectations in #china, we need to understand and bear in mind how our products and services make our customers win. To us, the #truck is not a sum of features, but a comprehensive product to satisfy performance, reliability and functionality requirements, as well as to provide drivers a more attractive working environment that makes them less fatigue. Built upon our ‘build to solve’ mindset, we are confident that the localized Mercedes-Benz Actros and Mercedes-Benz Actros C will bring significant value and benefits to the customers and drivers, further contributing to the ‘customer first’ brand commitment of Mercedes-Benz Trucks in #china.”
Customer-centric strategy in #china with both locally-produced and imported trucks
Parallel to the locally-produced Actros and Actros C tractor models, the import of Mercedes-Benz trucks to #china continues with focus on chassis business for special applications like firefighting, concrete pumps and even recreational vehicles. In addition, the existing Auman brand remains as a solid foundation for #daimler Truck’s joint venture BFDA.
Nicole Engel, CEO of #daimler #truck #china Limited adds: “By pursuing a robust multi-fold business strategy, we bring added value to our customers in various application segments in #china, supporting them to move the world. With the major milestone to locally produce our most successful Mercedes-Benz heavy-duty #truck model, we are positioned even stronger in the local market. With #daimler Truck’s pioneering innovations and our long-standing legacy, we are further empowered to grow in #china, for #china.”
Locally produced Mercedes-Benz Actros and Actros C models are expected to be ready for delivery to customers in #china in November this year.
