MERCEDES-Benz is the latest major manufacturer to confirm it will be attending the Fleet Show.

It will exhibit its range of vehicles, including the new E-class estate and CLK cabriolet, at the Silverstone event on September 23, 24 and 25.

Parent company DaimlerChrysler will also exhibit the smart range, with an opportunity to sample the second-generation City Coupe and the new Roadster.

Nick Ratcliffe, general manager, passenger car corporate sales, said: 'I believe the fleet industry needs an annual forum for all suppliers to present themselves to the market and the Fleet Show can deliver that along with the opportunity for decision-makers to drive competitive products back-to-back in a controlled environment.'
