DaimlerChrysler to double production

Local business and labour have welcomed the almost doubling of production for the East London-built new C-Class Mercedes Benz. DaimlerChrysler chairperson Christoph Kopke said this week that the East London plant would be producing around 80 000 of the new C-Class from 2007 — up from the 45 000 a year for the current W203 model.
