First Sprinter by Fujian Daimler Automotive (FDJA)

The first locally produced Mercedes-Benz Sprinter left the production line at Fujian Daimler Automotive (FDJA), the joint venture formed in 2007 between Daimler AG, the Chinese Fujian Motor Industry Group Company (FJMG) and the Taiwan-based China Motors Corp. (CMC). After the multi-purpose Viano and Vito, which had been in local production since April 2010, the Sprinter was the third premium model in the Chinese van market.
