Mercedes-Benz Plans To Quit Russian Market, Divest Shares To Local Investor: Report

Mercedes-Benz Group ADR MBGYY has become the latest car maker to exit Russia.
The luxury car producer, Reuters reported, will pull out from the Russian market and sell shares in its industrial and financial services subsidiaries to a local investor.
However, the exit plan would not affect Mercedes' stake in Russian truck maker Kamaz, the report added.
The company's stake in Kamaz would be transferred to Daimler Truck in 2022 as planned.
Major automakers have been facing issues with the supply chain due to sanctions imposed on Russia because of its Ukraine invasion.
