The Rastatt plant of Mercedes Benz will now be responsible for the global production of compact-class electric EQ models, thereby making all the three plants of Mercedes in Rastatt, Bremen and Sindelfingen responsible for the production of EQ-brand EVs. Mercedes already operates a highly flexible assembly line and these changes can be integrated very easily in plants in and outside Germany. The technology learning and necessary changes are already taking place at Rastatt plant and the plant is expected to produce the next compact car generation by 2018. “We are making a decisive step towards digitalization and new technologies. Having met all the requirements, the Rastatt team is ready for the challenges. Together with our ambitious colleagues, we as a works council want to help to shape the change in the automotive industry for electric mobility. We have laid the foundation for this,” said Ullrich Zinnert, Chairman of the Works Council at Mercedes-Benz Rastatt.
