Nicholas Speeks, president and CEO of Beijing Mercedes-Benz Sales Service Co Ltd, finds a compelling connection between the historic E-Class sedan and China's ancient capital Xi'an.
As he introduced the latest edition of the model in the city on June 19, Speeks said "Xi'an holds a significant position in China's history, famous for the Bronze Horse Carriage, as the capital of nine dynasties and as the gateway to the Silk Road".
"Just as the E-Class has had an important standing at the core of our brand since 1945 - it is now nine generations of history."
