Mercedes-Benz has opened a new battery plant in Alabama, just a few months ahead of the start of production of all-electric Mercedes-EQ vehicles in the U.S.A.
Mercedes-Benz states that it will produce the EQS SUV and EQE SUV in its plant in Alabama as part of a global push to produce all-electric vehicles at seven locations on three continents. The state-of-the-art battery factory in Bibb County will provide batteries for the two new vehicles.
At the site, the high-performance lithium-ion batteries are assembled into a complete system on a production line around 300m long with more than 70 work stations.
Using a fully digitalised production process, a variety of components are combined, including up to twelve cell modules and the EE compartment (which facilitates intelligent integration of power electronics for EQS battery systems).
The battery system, which will be fitted to the EQS SUV also utilises a highly advanced cell chemistry containing nickel, cobalt and manganese in a ratio of 8:1:1. The reduction of cobalt content to around 10%, in addition to the CO2-neutral production of the batteries, enhances sustainability.
With the new plant, Bibb County becomes part of the Mercedes-Benz global battery production network which stretches factories on three continents including in Kamenz, Germany, Beijing China, Bangkok Thailand, Jawor Poland and Stuttgart, Germany.
