Seeing this news, I believe that everyone in front of the screen may have such a question, what happened to The Dalem Company?
As the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, it has frequently sold its shares in recent years. A few years ago, Geely Group acquired shares in Daleham and became the largest shareholder of Daleham. Just now, on December 13, BAIC Group continued to increase its shares to 9.98%, surpassing Geely to become the largest shareholder. And Dailem also holds a 9.55% stake in baic group listed in Hong Kong, which is basically the case.

Before BAIC increased its shares, Geely was the largest shareholder of Daleham, accounting for 9.69% of the shares. From the perspective of the development trend of car companies, BAIC is the first enterprise associated with Dalem in China, because the parent company of Mercedes-Benz is Dalem, and Beijing Benz has been sold in the Chinese market as a joint venture car for a certain number of years. The two car companies have achieved technology sharing. For example, some models of today's BAIC BJ series use Mercedes-Benz engines and chassis tuning technology.

Interestingly, Geely has held the company of Dalem for so many years, and the real partnership between the two in the automotive market has only been reflected this year. Through the model information previously declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Geely and Dalem will jointly launch a new car for Mercedes-Benz Smart, built based on Geely's SEA platform, or named: smart genie. Based on the SEA Haohan is a pure electric model platform, based on the platform to create models are: Geely geometry, extreme Kr 001 and so on.
The larger proportion of BAIC shares this time will mean that it is expected to cooperate with Dalem to launch new models in the future. Nowadays, Dalem's companies have Mercedes-Benz, Genie, Mercedes-Benz AMG and Maybach and other brand models, its Geely and Genie cooperation, BAIC has long established a cooperative relationship with Mercedes-Benz, in the case of further share increase, BAIC Group or will launch more cooperative models in the future, specific which models believe will soon be available, let us wait and see.
