Daimler India to build new production line, eyes exports

Daimler India wants to make India its export hub for the entire Southern hemisphere

Daimler India, a subsidiary of German multinational automotive major Daimler AG, is adding a new production line later this year to produce 6.5 tonne-8.6 tonne trucks for the export markets.
 
Daimler India managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) Erich Nesselhauf says that the company would start shipping out the products from the new production line in the last quarter of the current calendar year. To begin with, the trucks would be exported to the Middle East.
 
The company exported 4,000 units from India last year. It also sold 13,100 trucks in the domestic market the same year.
