Daimler Middle East has announced its commercial vehicles business is looking to reopen a representative office in Iran. “Iran offers great opportunities for Daimler commercial vehicles and we are currently preparing to reenter this market,” said Roland Schneider, president and CEO for Daimler commercial vehicles in the MENA region. “We further intend to reopen a representative office in the country as soon as possible,” he told MEConstructionNews.com, adding that the Stuttgart-headquartered manufacturer is in talks with potential Iranian partners. Daimler recently opened its first regional center for MENA in Jebel Ali, Dubai, to support 19 countries across the region. The center will house all of Daimler’s commercial vehicle brands under one roof, including Mercedes-Benz trucks, buses and vans, Fuso vehicles and Setra buses. The center will also enable the company to manage the upcoming resumption of commercial vehicle activities in Iran from its hub in Dubai, it said in a statement.
