Pune , June 8

"India is an important market for us," said Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman, DaimlerChrysler AG and Head of the Mercedes Car Group, during a visit to the company's plant at Chikali in Pune on Thursday. He was accompanied by Dr Ruediger Grube, a board member responsible for Corporate Development.

Looking back, Dr Zetsche commented, "DaimlerChrysler's relationship with India dates back to 1954 when we launched Mercedes-Benz trucks in collaboration with Tata Motors. Over the years, our relation with India has been significant both in terms of scope and depth of offerings. Today, we offer an impressive range of Mercedes-Benz cars for the Indian customer." He added, "Indian operations have continued to impress us; we have a positive outlook and firm commitment to the Indian market."

DaimlerChrysler India Ltd, the 100 per cent subsidiary, has sold 2,019 units in the country last calendar year, crossing the 2,000-mark for the first time in the 11 years since its inception. The company's sales and distribution network is spread across 24 cities. It has also bagged the ISO 9001:2000 certification for all its dealerships.
