Mercedes-Benz has created an air of some confusion
over its future van strategy with Renault.
While
on the one hand, Daimler AG and Renault SA continue to identify new projects
together as they expand their global cooperation to include commercial vans
made in Japan, in Europe the picture for Daimler’s large vans is less clear.
Renault's
alliance partner Nissan Motor Corporation will supply Daimler with the NV350
Urvan which will be sold under its Mitsubishi Fuso brand in selected export
markets.
