Mercedes sales improved in first half

Customers can choose from various types of Service Contracts and enjoy worry-free maintenance and up to a two-year extended warranty.

"In other words, the service contract protects customers from unforeseen expenses while also protecting customers' vehicle performance and value for the long term," said Daniel Whitehead, head of after-sales services.

Furthermore, Speeks said the new sales company was among the first in the auto industry to quickly respond to the Ya'an earthquake in Sichuan in April, as it donated 20 million yuan through its Star Fund to the disaster-hit area.

"As soon as we heard the news, we immediately held an emergency meeting to begin donating. This is why the Mercedes-Benz Star Fund is such a great platform. It exists so that we can respond at the first instance to these types of disasters," said Li, who is also chairman of fund.

"We will use the donation first for immediate disaster relief. Next, the most important thing is rebuilding. We are investing in education and child welfare projects. We also support the panda base in Ya'an, so some of the money will also be used for that," said Li.
