In short, Mercedes-Benz vehicles are produced at many locations around the world. Factories are often added to serve the needs or a particular model or market. The Tuscaloosa factory is the second largest exporter of vehicles from the US! MBUSA is also bringing Sprinter production to South Carolina. In the past we have reassembled the Sprinters in the US but not manufactured them here. The new factory will allow for a much faster delivery timeline of our vans.
Production itself in a marvel! I have been to severalMercedes-Benz factories and it is amazing to see both the robot assembly lines and the ones still done by people. I have seen a giant robot arm swing a dashboard through a door opening with just 2mm to spare. They said it couldn’t be done by human hands!I have seen an AMG engine builder hand assemble a V8piece bypiece in a quiet factory in Affalterbach.
The logisticsof building these German engineered cars around the world and shippingto the dealerships by ship, train and transporter is mind boggling!
