Ms. Mandy Zhang, Global CMO of smart
The new energy vehicle market in Latin America is experiencing rapid growth, with increasing market penetration. As governments prioritize environmental protection and sustainable development, countries like Colombia, Uruguay, and Ecuador have introduced supportive policies, providing strong tailwinds for the growth of the new energy vehicle market and offering new momentum for smart's expansion in Latin America and its global layout.
As a global leader in automotive distribution and general distributor for Mercedes-Benz in Colombia, Uruguay, and Ecuador, Inchcape has a strong reputation and broad consumer base in the Latin American market. Through the strategic partnership, smart will efficiently integrate Mercedes-Benz's established local resources, quickly respond to customer demands, and accelerate its presence and deep cultivation in the Latin American market.
