Center of competence for compact cars: Rastatt manufactures the A-Class and the B-Class, which were awarded the automotive environmental certificate of the renowned Öko-Trend institute in 2007. In 2009, the plant’s (new body shop) enlargement and the associated investment of €600 million allowed Mercedes-Benz to further expand its center of competence for compact vehicles and to secure the long-term future of the Rastatt location. With the expansion of its product range in the compact segment, Mercedes-Benz will offer four models instead of two in the future in order to win over new customer groups and to generate growth in additional markets. Three of the four models will be produced at the Rastatt plant.
