The Mercedes-Benz plant in Berlin is an important part of the powertrain production network, and one of the major industrial employers in the Berlin-Brandenburg region.
The plant is a high-tech location for component production, with technologies for the reduction of CO2 emissions.
These components include the innovative CAMTRONIC motor control unit. For this variable valve adjustment system, the location serves as a competence centre in the global powertrain production network.
The Berlin production plant additionally supplements its product portfolio with the electric drive module installation for vehicles from the product and technology brand EQ.
As part of its digitization strategy, the Mercedes-Benz Berlin plant systematically implements the smart factory concept and successfully employs a wide range of Industry 4.0 technologies.
The topics of sustainability and environmental protection also are a high priority at the plant. In cooperation with the Free University of Berlin’s Institute of Biology in 2019, various green spaces have been ecologically cultivated and biodiversified.
Founded in 1902, the Berlin plant is the oldest producing location of the Mercedes-Benz Group.
