Together with the property, the right to distribution is also included. By selling the property, stock leftovers, and the right to distribution to one of its dealers, Mercedes-Benz is changing the format of its presence in Russia – the company will effectively no longer operate directly in Russia.
The distributor and acquirer of all the property of “Mercedes-Benz Rus” may become one of the dealers, and they have already signed non-disclosure agreements.
Recall that BMW, Lamborghini, and Volvo decided not to leave Russia, although until recently the companies had announced their exit from the Russian market.
