Merc boss quashes Aston takeover rumour

摘要

MERCEDES-BENZ CEO Ola Kallenius has strongly denied rumours that the company is set to take a controlling stake in Aston Martin. "No, we're not going to take industrial control of Aston Martin," Kallenius told Autocar. "But we have a very successful co-operation with Aston Martin and that will continue." The Stuttgart-based company's current 5% shareholding in Aston Martin was cemented in a technical partnership forged with its AMG division in 2013.
