Daimler may launch more Merc models

The increasing preference for Mercedes Benz models by Indian customers may see the company roll out more models in the near future.

"We are evaluating the launch of new models. But I would not be able to give you the details because our competition will also be eager to know about our plans,"  Wilfried Aulbur, managing director and chief executive officer of DaimlerChrysler India said at the launch of S-Class diesel, the S 320CDI L on Saturday.

The demand is being fuelled by the software professionals and entrepreneurs from the real estate business. "Sales between January and March 2007 grew 17 per cent to 690 vehicles. The sales growth was 30 per cent in the C-and S-class segments," Aulbur added.
