  • Mercedes-Benz va exporter le Sprinter vers les Etats-Unis
    Mercedes-Benz a pris la decision de commercialiser la camionnette Sprinter aux Etats-Unis, via le réseau du constructeur de camions Freightliner et sous cette marque. Elle sera exportée depuis Dusseldorf, mais sera "américanisée" afin de gommer l'aspect trop "soft" qu'ont les véhicules européens au goût du marché en question. Le constructeur allemand visera en premier lieu les flottes. Pour tester le marché, 80 unites sont actuellement à l'essai chez FedEx, nous a déclaré Rolf Bartke, le patron de la division utilitaires légers de Mercedes-Benz en marge de la présentation de la nouvelle version du Sprinter.

  • Cinquième terminal à marée: la parole est à l'Entreprise portuaire

En fait, tout s'est joué en dernière minute à cause de certaines circonstances.
