The Gist

Mercedes-Benz has officially inaugurated its expanded Kecskemét facility in Hungary, marking the production start of the all-electric C-Class.

Mercedes-Benz has reached a significant milestone in its electrification strategy with the inauguration of an expanded production facility in Kecskemét, Hungary. The site has officially begun manufacturing the new all-electric C-Class, a pivotal model for the brand's global EV portfolio.

Expanding the Hungarian Footprint

The plant expansion represents a major investment in the region's automotive infrastructure. By integrating the electric C-Class into the Kecskemét production lines, Mercedes-Benz is strengthening its ability to meet growing demand for premium zero-emission vehicles.

The Compact G-Class Confirmed

In addition to the C-Class news, the automaker has officially confirmed long-standing rumors regarding its iconic off-road lineup. The upcoming compact G-Class—often referred to as the 'Little G'—is slated to roll off the production line in Hungary in the near future. This move further diversifies the plant's output, transitioning it from a compact car hub to a versatile manufacturing center for both luxury sedans and rugged electric SUVs.
