Mercedes-Benz will begin construction on a fully flexible passenger car plant in Russia which is due to start local production by 2019. The company will be investing more than $250 million into the new production site, also because Mercedes-Benz was the automotive premium brand with the most registrations in Russia for the fourth year in a row. The production facilities will be implemented with state-of-the-art technologies as well as a ‘full-flex assembly’. The production line will also be under a so-called ‘one roof concept’ that enables fast throuput times and the industry 4.0 measures allow new connected forms of IT technologies. The plant in Moscow will be connected with all Mercedes-Benz sites, meaning that every system and robot can be controlled and programmed remotely.
