The name change is in line with similar name changes to other subsidiaries worldwide.
As from 10 December 2007, the company will trade under the name Mercedes-Benz South Africa (Pty) Ltd.
Chairman of the local company, Dr Hansgeorg Niefer says, “This name stands for a company with solid roots in South Africa and a strong tradition stretching over 53 years. This name change in no way affects our present contracts and undertakings. It is ‘business as usual', with a fresh focus and renewed energy.”
