Mercedes Benz India has crossed the 10,000 units sales mark in the first nine months of 2015. Delivering 10,079 units during this period, the company has sold almost the entire volume of 2014 in the first nine months of 2015 itself, registering a 34 % growth.
Mercedes had promised to launch 15 new models in 2015 and the next in line is the GLE SUV that is set to launch on 14th October. The recently launched Mercedes Maybach S600 has already been sold out for the year. The company now also produces the CLA sedan, GLA crossover and the Mercedes Maybach S500 at the Chakan plant in Pune.
Roland Folger, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India said, “Mercedes-Benz’s success run in India continues as we sold almost the entire 2014 volumes in first nine months of 2015. This continuous sales success is a clear reflection of our customer centric approach and our relentless drive towards creating customers for life. I am glad to see the India strategy is bearing fruits, and we are well poised for entering the Q4 with a very strong footing.” He also added, ““The success of the first three quarters has been in line with our expectations and we are confident of achieving our target of a sustainable double digit growth. We not only launched 12 new products and revived the market, but also inaugurated 13 new outlets taking our network reach to an unsurpassable 80 outlets spanning across 39 cities. This underscores our customer centricity which is central to our business strategy. We will also redefine the luxury SUV segment with the launch of the new GLE on 14th October.”
