    Yesterday, the Mercedes-Benz car plant in Rastatt also restarted. The plants in Kölleda and Arnstadt (MDC Power and MDC Technology), as well as selected international Mercedes-Benz car plants, will also restart production on a step-by-step basis. These include the plants in Sebes/Cugir (Romania), Kecskemét (Hungary) and Tuscaloosa (USA). The restart will be on a flexible basis so that ongoing developments can be taken into account.

    With this production ramp-up, Mercedes-Benz is continuing its product and electric initiative. The company is seeing a significant increase in demand in China, as its largest sales market. The Untertürkheim plant produces engines and components that are required for the production of Mercedes-Benz vehicles in China and for the gradually restarting Mercedes-Benz assembly plants. For the same reason the Mercedes-Benz plant in Berlin has recommenced production of Camtronic engine management units, among others. The plant in Hamburg produces axles and axle components for Mercedes-Benz vehicle production around the world. Image Credit: Mercedes-Benz

    The battery plants in Kamenz, where batteries for the EQ family, drive batteries for plug-in hybrid vehicles and 48 V batteries are produced, continued to operate during the suspension of production and short-time work phases as important strategic aspects of the electric initiative by Mercedes-Benz - on a 2-shift basis with strictly segregated shifts and extensive safety measures for the employees. To protect the employees, the company has taken precautions to prevent infection and has agreed on a comprehensive package of measures with the General Works Council, introducing these in the plants. These include hygiene and cleaning standards, regulations to maintain a minimum safety distance of 1.5 metres and the use of masks covering mouth and nose in production. Image Credit: Mercedes-Benz

    Daimler has decided to suspend most of its production as well as work in selected administrative areas in Europe for an initial period of two weeks (23rd of March to 5th of April, 2020). This was followed by short-time work in Germany starting 6th of April. The situation continues to differ within the company. Short-time work will continue in some areas .The short-time work affects the Group’s car, van and commercial vehicle plants in Germany. Necessary basic functions as well as future plans and strategic projects are excluded from short-time work so that we can quickly get back to work after the crisis. Image Credit: Mercedes-Benz

    Country-specific arrangements apply for the international locations. In this respect the company is follwing the recommendations of international, national and local authorities. Daimler’s management continues to monitor the situation constantly and are ready to take further measures as required. Image Credit: Mercedes-Benz

    Jörg Burzer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz AG, Production and Supply Chain Management: "Together with the whole team, I am glad that we are gradually restarting our production in a coordinated manner. Flexibility is what counts here: the flexibility of our plants is one of our focal strategic topics in production and it helps us in this restarting phase now. Our first priority is to contain the spread of the COVID-19- pandemic and to provide a safe working environment for our employees, suppliers and service providers. We are producing in compliance with extensive safety measures and we are increasing our production step by step." Image Credit: Mercedes-Benz
