“We are extremely pleased to be selected by DaimlerChrysler and appreciate their confidence in our ability to fully support this major program,” said C&A president and CEO Frank Macher in a statemen.
C&A will be responsible for all design, engineering, logistics and quality planning for instrument panels, integrated cockpit systems, centre floor consoles, pillar and garnish trim, rear package trays, moulded carpet flooring systems, accessory mats, rear cargo and boot trim and other components for the unnamed future vehicle programme.
Multiple existing facilities will produce the components and systems for the programme.
