Ingo ◊ 2009-12-18 23:47	Ah, interesting - I've understand, that only commercial Mercedes were assembled by them.
Jale ◊ 2009-12-18 23:52	I think not - "Thonburi Automotive Assembly Plant Co., Ltd. began to assemble chassis for commercial vehicles at Plant No. 1. Subsequently, it expanded its operation to cover the assembly of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars in C-Class, E-Class and S-Class models at Plant No. 2 in Samut Prakan Province. Considered by leading car manufacturers as one of the most modern factories in Southeast Asia, the plant has a capacity of 12,000 cars per year. Thonburi Group was appointed by DaimlerChrysler (Thailand) Ltd. to be the authorized assembler of Mercedes-Benz’s C-Class, E-Class, S-Class and A-Class models, in accordance with DaimlerChrysler AG’s stringent quality standards."
