Mercedes-Benz celebrates 2 millionth car produced at Kecskemét plant in Hungary
Mercedes-Benz has turned out the 2 millionth car at its base in Kecskemét (C Hungary), the local unit of the German carmaker said on Thursday.
The milestone was reached when a fully electric EQB model was rolled off the production line.
In addition to the EQB, the base produces A-Class, CLA Coupe and Shooting Brake models. Last year, over 174,000 were made at the base.
Jorg Burzer, Mercedes-Benz Group board member for production, acknowledged the efforts of workers at the plant to ensure “2 million satisfied customers”.
Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Hungary managing director Jens Buhler said an expansion at the plant would ensure it remained a “reliable partner” for car buyers in future, too.
Production of compact models in Kecskemét started in 2021.
