Mercedes Plans Luxury Pickup

Midsize offering...

With a tug, Volker Mornhinweg pulled a covering off a life-size clay model of the pickup truck that Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz intends to offer in the global market for midsize haulers, William Boston reports on wsj.com.

Before him stands a sporty double-cab vehicle with the tapered lines typical of Mercedes-Benz sedans and sport-utility vehicles.

But this vehicle has a loading space big enough for any craftsmen’s tools or gear for an outdoorsy family’s weekend outing, Boston wrote.

Mercedes will introduce the pickup by the end of the decade, focusing sales on Latin America, Australia, South Africa and Europe, according to Christopher Rauwald, reporting on bloomberg.com.

Mercedes says there are no current plans for a US launch, according to Boston.
