Mercedes reports strong demand for its new electric sedan CLA, with production chief Joerg Burzer describing the order intake as very encouraging.
Long delivery times signal high demand for the CLA, with plans to enter a three-shift production schedule later this year.
CLA production is in the ramp-up phase, with a gasoline version planned for later this year, expected to lower the starting price compared to the electric model.
Mercedes plans to introduce a new CLA Shooting Brake model and hints at extending the life cycles of the A-Class and B-Class models, with a boxy GLB and 'Little G' model also in the pipeline.
