· Mercedes-Benz will expand production capacity in 2018 with a sales target of 3 million units
According to Germany's "Automobilwoche" (Automobilwoche) cited Daimler executives said that Mercedes-Benz plans to increase production capacity, expected to sell 3 million in 2018.
“Every factory in our global production network is operating at high efficiency,†says Markus Schaefer, board member of Mercedes-Benz's manufacturing and procurement department. “That's why we want to expand capacity. The reason is based on market needs, and we are moving towards the goal of 3 million vehicles."
At the same time, Mercedes-Benz also plans to increase the number of models to 40. This may also be one of the important reasons for expanding production capacity.
By the end of 2020, Mercedes-Benz will add three new manufacturing plants, including a compact production plant in Mexico that will begin production in the third quarter of this year; a plant to be built in Hungary by the end of 2019 and a second plant in Beijing. The total investment in these plant projects will reach 3 billion euros.
In 2017, the Daimler Group sold 3.27 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 9%. Among them, Mercedes-Benz brand sales including the Smart brand reached 2.424 million units, an increase of 9.9% year-on-year, accounting for 70% of Daimler's overall sales. In 2017, Mercedes-Benz and sub-brand Smart delivered 610,000 new cars in the Chinese market, up 25% year-on-year. China has become the only single market in the world that has exceeded 600,000 units.
Daimler expects that Mercedes-Benz passenger car sales and revenue will grow slowly in 2018. From a profit perspective, the EBIT margin of passenger car and auto finance business will be the same as in previous years.
