Mercedes-Benz’ New Battery Plant in Alabama Is Open for Business
Mercedes-Benz isn't in the habit of relying on others to get results. The 100-year-old-plus company has the expertise and resources to get where it wants to go, and it has just given us another great proof.
The new battery plant will supply the components for these two new all-electric products, obviously, and in the process it will add 600 permanent jobs to the region. Mercedes also says that the production process of the batteries will be carbon-neutral and that the plant is expected to get all its electricity from renewable resources by 2024. Mercedes-Benz committed to achieving that goal in 2020.
The money spent in Alabama on electrification is central to Mercedes-Benz’ strategy. The company has promised to move to EV technology by the end of the decade. To achieve this, it plans to build eight such plants around the world. The total capacity will be 200 gigawatt hours.
