The Mercedes- Benz plant in Rastatt is the lead plant within the global production network for compact cars. This network also encompasses the plant in Kecskemét, Hungary, the BBAC facility in Beijing, China, and the contract manufacturer Valmet Automotive in Uusikaupunki, Finland. The facility flexibly produces three of the five models of the current compact vehicle generation (A‑Class, B‑Class, and GLA). Since the production launch of the B‑Class Electric Drive (electricity consumption combined: from 16.6 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 0 g/km) in 2014, models with combustion engines and electric drive systems have rolled off the same assembly line. The plant is the biggest industrial employer in the region. More than 4.4 million vehicles have rolled off the plant’s assembly line to date. The first Mercedes- Benz A‑Class was produced there in 1997, launching the success story of the Mercedes- Benz compact cars. The Mercedes- Benz plant in Rastatt is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2017.
