From the Green Car Congress:
At the Auto Shanghai 2005 show, DaimlerChrysler is emphasizing its entire range of approaches to sustainable mobility for Asia as a whole, and China in particular.
Making their Asian debuts at the show are the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Hybrid (earlier post) and a cutaway model of the fuel-cell version of the new B-Class F-Cell (earlier post).
China is the fastest growing car market in the world, up some 80% in the last four years, and is overtaking Germany as the number three manufacturer of vehicles behind the US and Japan. According to estimates by J. D. Power, the number of automobiles in China will nearly triple from the current 20 million to almost 60 million by 2010. In 15 years, the number of cars in the country is estimated at up to 140 million.
