Mercedes Benz, Daimler, will stop producing sedans in the United States and Mexico, this measure was taken as a plan to reduce its costs.
So the assembly plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, will no longer be home to the production of the Class c. For its part, the A class will do the same in the factory in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
Compact cars have many years of lost sales, with each passing year these vehicles are less sold due to the change that the market has had.
This does not mean that the automaker will stop producing vehicles in the United States. The Alabama plant will build exclusively SUV for Mercedes-Benz. A Daimler spokesman confirmed the decision with Roadshow He added: “An important factor behind this measure is that the Tuscaloosa plant is preparing to integrate the upcoming electric SUV models of the EQ product 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.
This strategy of reducing costs by Daimler is due to the economic crisis caused by the drop in car sales caused by the pandemic of the coronavirus.
Daimler registered operating losses of 1,682 million euros during the second quarter of 2020, which is a result “better than expected”, as it expected losses of almost 2,100 million.
