Since the start of this year the connectivity services have also been available in Belgium and the Netherlands. “The market launch of 'connect business' was very successful. Our connectivity services help fleet and business customers in their daily work”, explains Christoph Ludewig, Head of Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH. “We want to continue growing with 'connect business'.
