[Auto] Coronavirus: Mercedes-Benz successfully returns to vehicle production

[Dr.Drako]

The COVID-19 threat forced different companies in the automotive sector to stop their activities since mid-March. One of the affected companies was Mercedes-Benz, which has announced that it has already successfully restarted production.

The plants in Untertürkheim, Berlin, Hamburg, Sindelfingen and Bremen are the first to enter this measure.

The first three, dedicated to the production of engines and components, began gradually on April 20. The last two, meanwhile, did so this week.

Added to this measure was the restart of activities at the Rastatt plant on May 4. While the Mercedes-Benz locations in Kölleda and Arnstadt (MDC Power and MDC Technology), such as those in Sebes / Cugir (Romania), Kecskemét (Hungary) and Tuscaloosa (USA) will gradually resume production.

Recall that the Mercedes-Benz plant located in the city of Hamburg is responsible for the production of axles and axle components necessary for the assembly of the company's vehicles around the world.
 

On the other hand, the Kamenz plant, in charge of creating the batteries for EQ and 48 V plug-in hybrids, worked continuously and in short-term phases (taking all safety measures) during the suspension of activities globally .
