Mercedes-Benz pulls out of Naamsa stats

Johannesburg - The National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of SA (Naamsa) announced on Monday that Mercedes-Benz SA has discontinued participation in the SA automotive industry's domestic new vehicle sales and export statistics for the time being.

The withdrawal came as a result of a global directive by its parent company Daimler in Germany. The pull-out came into effect in mid-December 2011.

Naamsa understands that the global directive by Daimler is precautionary in nature and is related to the European Union Competition Commission investigation into alleged anti-competitive practices by various European truck manufacturers.

The association said the discontinuation of sales reporting by Mercedes-Benz SA would hopefully be of a temporary nature and both the company and Naamsa, including RGT Smart, are committed to working towards resolving the situation as soon as possible.

RGT Smart is the third service provider in the collation of domestic new vehicle sales and exports.
