Untertürkheim is now responsible for the production of powertrain systems and components. Electric drive units for fully electric Mercedes-Benz models, starting with the CLA, are manufactured and assembled here. The forging operations are also located here. The Mercedes-Benz eCampus, the competence centre for research and development of future generations of batteries and battery cells, is likewise part of the Untertürkheim plant site. Engines are currently produced in Bad Cannstatt.

Mettingen is home to flexible axle production and the foundry. Among other things, parts for electric drive units are manufactured here and built into electric axles. Transmission production takes place at the Hedelfingen plant section, which has been making battery systems for the fully electric Mercedes-Benz models EQS and EQE since 2021. This plant section also manufactures parts for electric drive units.

Flexible manufacturing is located in Sirnau, while vocational training is based in Brühl. Brühl also operates a battery factory in which the latest generation of battery systems will be produced in the future.

A large part of the Group-wide powertrain research and development function, including a test track for vehicle testing, is also located at the Untertürkheim plant site. In addition, it is home to the central van division and its research and development activities. Untertürkheim is also the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
