Production of the C-Class in the US started in 2014.
Daimler
Mercedes-Benz parent automaker Daimler said the United States will no longer be home to Class c production on Friday. As the automaker seeks to cut losses, the sedan will go out of production at the automaker’s assembly plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Instead, the US plant will exclusively build SUVs for Mercedes-Benz. A Daimler spokesperson confirmed the decision with Roadshow and added: “An important factor behind this move is that the Tuscaloosa plant is preparing to integrate the upcoming EQ product electric SUV models and technology brand into its operations. This will require certain construction projects. “
Class C will continue production in Germany, South Africa and China in the future.
Reuters reported that changes in production extend to Mexico, where the smallest One class production will cease. At the automaker plant in Aguascalientes, the workforce will focus on GLB Small luxury SUV. Class A production will also continue in Germany.
Random production occurs when Daimler released better-than-expected financial figures in the second quarter amid the coronavirus pandemic. However, the Mercedes-Benz sedan and van line recorded a loss of $ 1.3 billion. As previously reported, Mercedes-Benz will take a closer look at some of its slower-selling variants within the C-Class and E-Class alignments. Coupes and convertibles, which are not as popular as sedans, could get the ax in the name of cost savings.
