Market Chatter: Mercedes-Benz Lobbies to Raise Chinese Ownership Cap in U.S. Senate Bill

MT Newswires Live07-21

Mercedes-Benz is lobbying to ease a proposed U.S. Senate bill that would ban vehicle sales in the U.S. by automakers with more than 15% Chinese ownership, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday.

The German automaker is seeking to raise the ownership threshold to 25%, aligning it with the proposed limit for suppliers of connected vehicle parts and software, the report said.

Chinese entities own about 20% of Mercedes-Benz, including nearly 10% held by BAIC Motor (HKG:1958) and 10% by Geely (HKG:0175) Chairman Li Shufu, according to the report.

The bipartisan bill was introduced in April over national security concerns.

Mercedes-Benz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
