Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), the makers of BharatBenz trucks and buses, has announced entering a partnership with Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) to launch an exchange programme for used commercial vehicles. The company says the main agenda of the collaboration was to create a platform for customers to exchange their used commercial vehicle of any brand for new or used BharatBenz vehicles. SAMIL has been a popular marketplace for connecting pre-owned vehicles buyers and sellers, making them the go-to platform for many logistics firms for procuring certified commercial vehicles.
