Daimler AG (DAI.XE) said Monday that its Mercedes-Benz brand has signed a preliminary agreement with Egypt's government to set up a vehicle-assembly plant in the country.

Mercedes-Benz will operate the plant with a local partner, the company said.

"In view of the long-term market potential, further investments are also conceivable," the company said, suggesting an expanded dealer network or a logistics hub as potential developments.

Mercedes-Benz didn't provide details on the timeline of its planned investment.
