Mercedes-Benz announced the investment of US$1.3 billion (S$1.83 billion) in the expansion of its Alabama factory, as it expands its Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) production in the U.S.A, creating 300 new jobs.
The facility will be responsible for assembling Mercedes-Benz's next generation SUVs, including hybrid versions. The plant expansion includes a new Body Shop, major enhancements to the SUV Assembly Shop and upgraded logistics and IT systems. The plant will see the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies and end-to-end digitisation of production processes in line with the smart factory approach.
"In the next years we invest $1.3 billion into the expansion of our SUV production and turn the Mercedes-Benz plant Tuscaloosa into a high-tech location," said Markus Schäfer, Member of the Divisional Board Mercedes-Benz Cars, Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management. "In this way we can produce the next SUV generations even more flexibly, efficiently and in proven top quality."
