Premium compact vehicles

The extension of the Mercedes-Benz product range within the premium compact segment (successor generation of current A- and B-class with four instead of the present two models) requires additional production capacities, which can not solely be displayed in the core plant in Rastatt, Germany. For that reason Daimler decided in 2008 to extend the Rastatt plant with an investment of €600 million and to additionally build a new plant in Kecskemét, Hungary, with an investment of €800 million. The two plants will operate as a production network. The Kecskemét plant will build two of the four models of the new Mercedes-Benz premium compact vehicle generation and will have an annual production capacity of more than 100,000 units. Finally, the plant will employ more than 2,500 people. Production of customer vehicles is planned to begin in early 2012.
