Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
- The first all-electric Mercedes-EQ built in the United States, the new EQS #suv, has been successfully launched at the Tuscaloosa plant
- From #alabama to the world: The EQS #suv will be produced exclusively in the U.S.
- Highly efficient battery systems to be supplied by the recently opened #mercedesbenz Battery Factory in Bibb County, Alabama
- Comprehensive sustainabilityconcept and carbon-neutral production at both sites
Mercedes-Benz is exclusively producing the all-electric EQS #suv at its North American passenger vehicle plant. These vehicles rolling off the line is a key step in #mercedesbenz Cars’ global initiative to produce eight all-electric vehicles at seven sites on three continents this year. The full-size EQS #suv is integrated in series production at the #mercedesbenz Tuscaloosa plant in #alabama, which has been the production site for large SUVs bearing the three-pointed star since 1997. Tuscaloosa serves as a key production location for Mercedes-EQ luxury electric SUVs: the EQS #suv and EQE #suv, which goes into production later this year.
Jörg Burzer, Member of the Board of Management of #mercedesbenz Group AG, Production and Supply Chain: “Our production network is very well positioned for the sustainable and rapid scaling of electric vehicle volumes. With the new EQS #suv joining our production portfolio of all-electric Mercedes-EQ models, we reached another important milestone in our strategy to go all electric by the end of the decade – wherever market conditions allow. I am absolutely sure that our great Tuscaloosa team will make the electric #suv another global success.”
The Tuscaloosa plant uses state-of-the-art digital, sustainable, efficient and flexible production methods and follows the blueprint of the company`s Factory 56 in Sindelfingen, Germany, which symbolizes the future of #automotive production of #mercedesbenz. Thanks to early investments into flexible production and the use of the state-of-the-art MO360 digital production ecosystem, #mercedesbenz is already able to produce battery-electric vehicles in large volumes.
Michael Goebel, President and CEO of #mercedesbenz US International (MBUSI): “We have a highly skilled and motivated team that has absolutely delivered in the successful product launch of the new EQS #suv. Our Team Members in Tuscaloosa have shown a lot of flexibility, energy and commitment in helping us to achieve milestone after milestone since our first #mercedesbenz rolled off the production line more than 25 years ago. The employees here at the site can be proud that the first all-electric #suv from #mercedesbenz and its battery are being built in #alabama.”
Local battery production is a key success factor for Mercedes-Benz's electrification initiative
The new battery factory, which opened in Bibb County in March, produces the battery systems for the EQS #suv on an approximately 300-meter or 985 feet-long production line with more than 70 workstations. A host of components is assembled into a complete system in a fully digitized production process, including up to twelve cell modules and what is known as the EE compartment for the intelligent integration of the power electronics. The battery for the EQS #suv is based on a modular architecture that is also used in the EQS and EQE Sedans. With the new plant, Bibb County is now a part of the global #mercedesbenz battery production network, which comprises of factories on three different continents.
