Automaker looks to bring Mercedes touch to other segments> Staff writer

CHIBA -- German carmaker Daimler-Benz AG is gearing up to broaden its market. It is planning to introduce models into more segments, rather than sticking to the luxury car market, its head of sales and marketing said during an interview at the 32nd Tokyo Motor Show.

"We are already thinking about some additional segments which we'd like to address, and we will make up our mind within the next few months or a year," Dieter Zetsche, a member of Daimler-Benz's Board of Management, told The Japan Times.
