Mercedes Considering Factory in Romania

Daimler AG's premium division Mercedes Benz has started talks with Romania's government to set up a new car making plant in the western county of Timis.

Romanian media reported earlier this year that Daimler may be interested in opening a facility in the northwestern city of Cluj, where Finnish mobile phone giant Nokia has already built a new production plant.

According to Romanian authorities a potential site of the Mercedes plant may be located to the north of Timisoara city, close to the border with Serbia and Hungary.
