As the most important part of BAIC's restructuring of Fuqi, Beiqi Holding will formally take over the Chinese shares of Fujian Daimler Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Daimler).
On the 24th, Daimler North East Asian sources said, "Beiqi's acquisition of Fujian Daimler's shares has basically completed negotiations, we are also waiting for relevant parties to release the news." And on the 21st in Shanghai Mercedes-Benz new E-Class released At the meeting, Ulrich W. Alker, chairman and CEO of Northeastern Daimler, did not respond to the acquisition of Fuqi shares in the Fujian Daimler project by Beiqi, but rather profoundly suggested that “we need a strong one's business Patner".
Fujian Daimler is now in a tight preparation phase before putting into operation. At present, the product model of N CV 2 has been trial-produced by Daimler employees in Fujian.
Many people believe that the reason why Beiqi is willing to take over Fujian Daimler’s Chinese shares is to “build bricks and tiles†in order to create a large car group with a production value of RMB 100 billion and produce and sell 1.8 million cars. Müller's restructuring can integrate the Daimler commercial vehicle business. As one of the largest commercial vehicle manufacturers in Europe, Daimler owns a complete product line of heavy trucks and light commercial vehicles. In the aspect of heavy trucks, Beiqi Holding has successfully joined Daimler through technical cooperation between Daimler and Foton Motors. This time through the acquisition of Fujian Daimler shares held by Fuqi, BAIC will also cooperate with Mercedes-Benz in the Mercedes-Benz brand light commercial vehicles, and as a complement to Beijing Benz car products.
After Beiqi Holdings acquired the equity of Fujian Daimler, which is held by Fuqi, the project will remain independent and the project's production base will remain in Minhou, Fujian. It is reported that BAIC's “but seeking all, not seeking†position is an important reason for the official settlement of share transfer negotiations in just a few months.
