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.
