Meanwhile, India was the fastest-growing global market for Mercedes-Benz in 2022, chief executive and chairman Ola Källenius said, in a year when its global sales shrank 1% following the slowdown in China, the world’s largest car market.
He also stated that on the tech and engineering side, the Mercedes Benz Research and Development Institute in Bangalore is by a wide margin the second biggest engineering and tech hub we have for Mercedes in the world, besides Germany, which means that in every Mercedes, you have a piece of India, on the mechanical side, on the electrical side, and of course, also on the software side which is a particular strength of our engineering team here. We’ve also taken a step into electric production here as an early mover.
