Chennai, June 22 (IANS): Truck and bus maker Daimler India Commercial Vehicles Pvt Ltd (DICV) on Monday said it has started shipping trucks to Cambodia.
In a statement issued here, the company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler AG of Germany, said Cambodia is its 13th overseas market.
While most of the current export markets require right-hand drive vehicles, the Cambodian market needs left-hand drive vehicles.
"Under the umbrella of Daimler Trucks Asia, DICV and MFTBC (Mitsubishi Truck and Bus Corporation) have combined their strength to tap into further sales potential. While DICV focuses on the Indian market and countries such as Nepal, that are related to the Indian market conditions," the statement said.
MFTBC will service the rising demand in the Asian and African regions with its existing portfolio of Mitsubishi-Fuso trucks from its plant in Kawasaki and the Fuso trucks produced in Oragadam near here.
