SINDELFINGEN, Germany—The state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz factory here recently built the automaker’s 22 millionth vehicle. An EQS 580 sedan rolled off the flexible assembly line at the historic facility, which has been producing cars since 1919. To mark the historic event, the electric vehicle posed next to a 15/70/100-hp open touring car that was made at the plant in 1924.
“Flexible, digital, efficient and sustainable: Sindelfingen is and remains our center of excellence for luxury class vehicles in the global production network,” says Jörg Burzer, member of the board of management responsible for production and supply chain management at Mercedes-Benz Group AG. “Sindelfingen has an impressive history, while at the same time being ideally positioned for the future.”
