Mercedes-Benz's powerful statement at Auto Guangzhou

Mercedes-Benz ended the year with a bang at the Guangzhou Auto Show, the industry's final major event of 2013.

In the vibrant Pearl River Delta, the "three-pointed star" shined with an unprecedented lineup of 13 new vehicles, four powertrain options and a continued commitment to environmental protection.

"In addition to our strong product offensive, we are the first automaker in China to offer a full range of powertrain options," said Fred Duan, the new executive vice-president for sales and marketing at Beijing Mercedes-Benz Sales Service Co.
