Daimler-Chrysler positioned the Auto China as A-class, meaning we are going to take it as one of the most important auto exhibitions in the world. The scale of Benz and Chrysler brands taking part in the Auto China is about the same in other international exhibitions, demonstrating our great emphasis over the China market and the leading position of Benz brand as well as Daimler-Chrysler portfolios on the China market.

Auto China has made great strides over the past few years and the gap against other well-known shows is being narrowed.
