In 2020, Factory 56 was built at the Sindelfingen site, setting new standards in sustainability and efficiency. The plant is carbon-neutral on a balance sheet basis. A photovoltaic system on the roof supplies the hall with renewable energy, supported by a stationary energy storage system based on vehicle batteries. With a total capacity of 1,400 kWh, this storage system temporarily stores surplus solar energy generated by the photovoltaic system.
As a pilot system used for the first time in a Mercedes-Benz plant, an innovative direct current network is installed in Factory 56 which feeds the power directly into the plant's DC network without power inverters or losses. A stationary energy bank based on vehicle batteries is connected to the DC network and has a capacity of 1400 kWh. This is also able to store solar power and deliver it on days with little sunshine. In addition the shop is supplied with external power from renewable energy sources.
