Daimler AG says it plans to start selling the Smart fortwo micro car in China in mid-2009.
The announcement on Saturday from Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche was being made at the Beijing auto show. The tiny, two-seater fortwo is currently available in 37 countries, including the United States.
Zetsche says in a statement that the Smart brand has good sales potential for China because of demand for small cars in the market.
Smart is a division of Daimler's Mercedes-Benz brand.
