Mercedes-Benz to hire 250 engineers for Bangalore R&D centre
Date: 29-Jun-2010
NEW
DELHI : German auto major Daimler Group firm Mercedes-Benz today said it
will
hire about 250 engineers for its research and development centre in
Bangalore
during this year to support its global facility.
"We have a R&D
centre in Bangalore, which is working in association with our global
development
centre in Germany... We will enhance the strength of the Bangalore unit
to 650
engineers by the end of this year," Mercedes-Benz India General Manager
(Product
Homologation) Prakash Vermali told reporters on the sidelines of a SIAM
summit
here.
At present, the R&D centre employs about 400 people, he
added.
The facility is dedicated to passenger cars only, and it
currently works in conjunction with Daimler's German unit in many areas,
including development of powertrains, Vermali said.
The expansion of
the centre is being carried out as part of Daimler's overall strategy to
focus
on the Asian market, especially India and China, he added.
On
introduction of new technologies, Daimler Manager (Emission) Michael
Anger said
the company has introduced a diesel filter in Europe to reduce emission
of
harmful particles from its cars.
"We are considering to introduce
this filter in India. It will substantially minimise the emission of ...
harmful
particles from a diesel car. The issue is availability of clean fuel,
without
which the technology will not work," he added.
