Mercedes-Benz Drivers All Set for Fourth Race in 2012 DTM

Mercedes-Benz Drivers All Set for Fourth Race in 2012 DTM  阅读原文»

The 2012 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season has started incredibly well for the Mercedes-Benz team, with considerable leads in all three categories of the competition, namely the constructors, drivers, and teams championships. The Mercedes-Benz drivers competing this weekend are all prepped up and excited for the prospects of the team at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.

"Everything about our new DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coupé is first-class, and it has shown itself to be fast on all types of track," said Gary Paffett, who has won two of the first three races this year and is in the lead in the drivers championship. "In Spielberg, though, we're expecting some new challenges. The circuit has a very different character to Brands Hatch where we raced a fortnight ago."

Jamie Green, currently fourth place in the drivers championship, also chimed in. "So far this year, the field has been evenly matched on all types of track, and I'm expecting it to be very tight in Spielberg too."

David Coulthard, racing for the Mucke Motorsport team under Mercedes-Benz, is very familiar with the track because he got an F1 victory here in 2001 when he was still racing for McLaren-Mercedes. "Spielberg is a fantastic circuit in a beautiful part of Austria. From a driver's perspective, the track is hugely enjoyable, but it's quite difficult to extract every last ounce of performance from the car."

MB-Spain to Partner with Ceva Logistics  阅读原文»

Mercedes-Benz Spain signed a three-year partnership with supply chain management firm CEVA Logistics. The deal will secure the services of CEVA Logistics to manage spare part shipments.

CEVA Logistics is one of the leading global firms when it comes to managing supply chains. The company will be tasked to collect spare parts and take charge of the consolidation and distribution of those parts straight to the various Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the dealer network that is comprised of the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, and Ceuta and Melilla, which are Spanish cities in North Africa.

The deal involves CEVA’s Less-than-Container Load Oceanfreight service, and CEVA will be shipping 2,000 orders. That translates to somewhere around 1,500 tons each year. The deal provides Mercedes-Benz Spain with the best value for money balanced with efficiency of delivery times.

"Logistics is a critical aspect for every automotive company," said Andres Orejon Fraile, Mercedes-Benz Spain’s Spare Parts Director. "Cost reductions, improvements in delivery times and shipment frequency are key factors for the success of our Customer Service Policy. Only a capable provider that is able to satisfy our expectations in terms of time and cost can have our confidence."
