The automaker Daimler will phase out R-Class. This reports the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, citing CEO Dieter Zetschte. The seven-seater SUV therefore receives no successor.

                         
         
         
                                                             
                                 

“The R-Class has not reached the numbers that we had imagined,” Zetsche conceded. Only in China, the model is popular, said Daimler CEO: “This is not enough as an argument for a Nachfolgmodell.” The flop could get over the group but. “If from the 30 vehicles, we have today in the program, only one does not not meet our expectations, which is a good rate,” Zetsche said in the Sunday newspaper.

                         
         
         
                                                             

At the same time Zetsche defends against the suspicion, the automaker fraud in excise indication of its vehicles. “We consider ourselves basically to the legal requirements and have no manipulations made to our vehicles,” Dieter Zetsche told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. “A Defeat Device, ie a function that limits the effectiveness of the exhaust after-treatment inadmissible comes at Mercedes-Benz is not used.”

                         
         
         
                                                             

Daimler has launched 11,000 Mercedes Sprinter in Germany for a software upgrade to the workshop. In these vehicles, the test equipment as TÜV and DEKRA for the main study can not communicate with the systems of the vehicles, as a company spokesman said. He confirmed a report of the “Welt am Sonntag”. In 6000 vehicles, the software for data transfer is already updated. This had nothing to do with manipulation of software or of emission values, stressed the spokesman.

Daimler had called the Vehicle Operator in June by letter to go to a workshop. The company admitted to have formulated the writing unhappy. Therein it is stated, “it was necessary for the vehicles’ exhaust relevant Steuergräte provided with an optimized software,” writes the “Welt am Sonntag”. The formulation was given the exhaust scandal at Volkswagen “highly misleading,” said Mercedes transporter chief Volker Mornhinweg the sheet. Customers could understand the contents incorrectly.

                         
         
         
                                                             

This is according to Daimler-Mercedes Sprinter, which were delivered in 2013 and now have gradually become the premier investigation.
