Daimler appear before Mega behalf of Uber
The Stuttgart carmaker Daimler received the probably largest order in its history. The American taxi service Uber would decrease over a six-digit number of S-class limousines, manager magazine reported in its latest issue (release date: March 18).
Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick have so agreed, according to circles of both companies. However, the order still hang in diverse conditions.
Thus Kalanick interested initially only for autonomously controlling versions of the Mercedes flagship. The will, however, likely to give it until after 2020, according to Stuttgart.
Even the business context of the possible large order is not clear. Daimler announced to having only about new mobility models can be thought of collaborations with various partners.
The value of a deal in the dimension discussed would certainly be huge: calculated carefully, likely 100,000 autonomously controlling S-classes cost around ten billion euros.
