Mercedes Benz to bring 3-4 electric vehicles into India in 12-18 months
Luxury vehicle maker Mercedes Benz India, which launched a Rs 1.39 crore electric sports utility vehicle (SUV) EQE 500 on Friday, is planning to bring in three-four more electric cars into India in the next 12-18 months.
It also said that if it sees consumer demand, it can realign its portfolio in 6-12 months in favour of petrol powertrains. This comes after the Centre recently discouraged the use of diesel vehicles.
Speaking to Business Standard, Santosh Iyer, managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO), Mercedes-Benz India, said, “We will change the mix if the customer wants — today, we see very high demand for diesel in the SUV portfolio and gasoline for our sedan portfolio.
