The Mercedes-Benz Tuscaloosa plant was completed in July 1996. The construction of this plant was a significant investment by Daimler, with a total cost of 300 million US dollars. This investment was part of Daimler's strategy to better serve the American market and underline its claim as a global company.

Production of Battery-Electric Vehicles

The Mercedes-Benz Tuscaloosa plant is one of seven of the manufacturer's worldwide, in which purely battery-electric vehicles of the sub-brand Mercedes-EQ are manufactured. This highlights the plant's role in the company's commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly vehicle production.

Size and Layout of the Plant

The Mercedes-Benz Tuscaloosa plant site extends over a vast area of 3.8 million square meters. The pure production area within the plant takes up 300,000 square meters. This expansive space is utilized for various production processes, including body manufacturing, painting, and assembly lines.
