The first Mercedes-Benz MPV rolls off FJDA production line.
|
The first Mercedes-Benz Viano and Vito transporter came off the new Fujian Daimler Automotive (FJDA) production line in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, according to a Daimler news release April 16.
In March 2010, FJDA received the green light to make Mercedes-Benz's MPV. Previously all Mercedes-Benz MPVs were imported into China.
Established in 2007, FJDA is a joint venture with Fujian Motors Group (FJMG), China Motor Corporation (CMC) and Daimler. FJMG holds 50 percent shares in FJDA, Daimler 33.78 percent and CMC 16.22 percent. The total investment is 249 million euros ($ 335.1 million), with 160 million euros ($ 215.3 million) of registered capital.
At present, FJDA has more than 30 dealers in China.
Models of the Viano and Vito were delivered to FJDA's dealers last month. The German automaker has exported fewer Sprinter MPVs to China to help increase the sales of Mercedes-Benz models made by its Chinese partner.
