  • Mr Thomas Merker

German automobile major Mercedes-Benz in December opened its second research and development facility here to expand research and development and information technology activities in India for its parent firm Daimler AG.

“The India research and development centre plays a crucial role in our global R and D organisation, with 200 patents filed for innovation in automotive development since our entry into India 18 years ago,” said Mercedes-Benz R and D India officiating Chairman, Thomas Merker in a statement.

Spread over 266,000 square feet, the sprawling facility at Embassy Crest in the city’s eastern suburb, has capacity to house about 2,400 employees, 400 more than its present strength.
