Germany: Daimler to start short-term hire of transporters
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 25 Feb 2017, Online:-
German vehicle manufacturer Daimler is to start a scheme in Germany for the short-term hire of its transporters. This is expected to start in the summer of 2017. The scheme will be aimed at business customers and will focus on industrial parks and commercial areas. Customers will be able to rent a nearby transporter using an app. Daimler's transporter division plans to invest EUR 500mn (USD 528mn) in expanding the programme by 2020. The main focus of the investment will be the company's classic products, including the Merecedes X Class pick-up, and in 2017 and 2018, the division will invest EUR 2bn in them. E-vans will also receive a large portion of the investment.
