With more than 175,000 E-Class sedans delivered since 2002,
the E-Class is a pillar model for Mercedes-Benz in Mainland China. More than
one in five E-Class sedans delivered worldwide in 2012 was delivered to Chinese
customers, making China the second biggest E-Class market worldwide after the
US. Recently the all new long-wheelbase E-Class began rolling off the
production line at Beijing Benz Automotive Company Ltd. (BBAC) and marked, with
its launch at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 30, another important milestone
for Daimler’s and Mercedes-Benz’ growth strategy in China.
