KUALA LUMPUR: Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is confident of achieving another record year of sales in 2016, bucking the trend in a difficult car market at present where the total industry volume (TIV) has stunted. Declining to reveal any figures, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia sales and marketing passenger cars vice-president Mark Raine said year-to-date sales for 2016 were 10% higher compared with 2015. Separately, Raine said Mercedes-Benz Malaysia was confident of a good take-up rate for its newly launched C350e. It was launched yesterday during the International Greenwich and Eco Products Exhibition/Conference Malaysia 2016 (IGEM 2016), which runs from Oct 5 to 8, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Since 2003, the company has invested over RM800mil to assemble, distribute and market Mercedes-Benz passenger vehicles in Malaysia.
