Mercedes-Benz Cars
The products supplied by the Mercedes-Benz Cars division range from the high-quality small cars and innovative e-bikes of the smart brand to the premium automobiles of the Mercedes-Benz brand.
The main country of manufacture is Germany, but the division also has production facilities in the United States, China, France, Hungary, South Africa, India, Vietnam and Indonesia. Worldwide, Mercedes-Benz Cars has 17 production sites at present.
In the context of extending our product range in the compactcar segment, our new plant in Kecskemét, Hungary went into operation in 2012 and the new B-Class has been produced there since April. In the medium term, we anticipate significant growth in worldwide demand for automobiles and aboveaverage growth in the premium car segment. To ensure that we can participate in this development, we are creating additional production capacities, especially in China, the United States and India.
The most important markets for Mercedes-Benz Cars in 2012 were Germany with 20% of unit sales, the other markets of Western Europe (24%), the United States (21%) and China (14%).
