The German Daimler Group has made major personnel adjustments in recent days. The first time it has set up a board of directors for the Chinese business, it will be led by Hubertus Troska, a Mercedes-Benz truck executive. “With the birth of the 'China' seat of the board of directors, the Chinese market will be managed directly by the board of directors, and Mr. Hubertus Troska is the best candidate for the board of directors for this business.” Chairman of Daimler AG board of directors and Mercedes-Benz Dr. Cai Che, president of the Automotive Group, said.
