Addressing the gathering Mr. Erich Nesselhauf, Managing Director and CEO, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, said: “Working with the best partners is a prerequisite for our success. The ideal DICV supplier helps us extend our technology leadership and deliver even more value to our customers, and is keen to pursue growth opportunities in exports.”

As an example of perfectly orchestrated cooperation, Mr. Nesselhauf referred to the BS-IV transition in India earlier this year, “Without our suppliers’ support, we could not have unlocked this kind of growth momentum with BS-IV and our all-new heavy-duty truck range. On behalf of DICV, I want to thank all our suppliers for their commitment and their contributions to this success.”
