SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobis begins to supply chassis modules for Mercedes-Benz AG, with luxury and performance automotive brands. The module technology and quality competitiveness of Mobis are now highly recognized by global automakers. Mobis becomes the first non-European supplier for chassis module for the OEM.
