Mercedes-Benz has announced that it will invest more than €3bn to strengthen four of its plants in Germany.
The company is planning to invest €1bn in Sindelfingen plant where it plans to develop future products, another €1bn would be invested in Untertürkheim core plant.
The company might invest around €750 m to increase the capacity of its Bremen plant, and the rest would go to Rastatt compact car plant where electric cars are being produced.
Mercedes-Benz has also set up a new manufacturing organization Mercedes-Benz Operations (MO) which is based on global production network where manufacturing will be organized according to product architectures.
The production architecture will include front-wheel-drive architecture (MFA), rear-wheel drive architecture (MRA), architectures for SUVs (MHA), powertrain architecture (MPA) and sports cars architecture (MSA).
Mercedes-Benz board member of production and supply chain management Markus Sch?fer said: "We want to continue to grow and will significantly increase our production capacities in the coming years."
"Our German passenger car and powertrain plants form the backbone of our global production network."
"The achievements of the teams in all four plants are second to none: they have done an outstanding job in launching the C-Class at four sites in such a short space of time."
The MO will also centralize supply chain management which would integrate all the stages of the supply chain to ensure smoother delivery of its upcoming cars.
