It is the presence of German and Chinese premier, Li Keqiang and Angela Merkel, that Daimler AG and its partner Beijing Auto gave further impetus to their already solid industrial agreement. According to the new document signed by both parties, the Mercedes-Benz will expand its production in China, where since the beginning of 2015 the GLA will be built for the local market in the near future they will reach other models in the compact MFA.

Four billion for China. The initiative, which has been earmarked for an investment of one billion Euros, is part of the growth plan of the joint venture Beijing Benz, which by next year will receive resources for a total of four billion. Already today, the Beijing Benz produces in China’s long-wheelbase versions of the new C-Class and E-Class, the GLK as well, but with the arrival of the compact local output will double to over 200,000 units by the end of 2015
