BERLIN :Mercedes-Benz expects to have factories producing exclusively electric vehicles by the second half of the decade but will steer clear of building EV-only plants, instead keeping production lines flexible in line with market demand.
"We will certainly have some lines producing only electric vehicles in the next few years... we also see whole factories switching to electric - that is a topic for the second half of the decade." "With the ramp-up of the EQE in Bremen and later in Beijing, we are coming into a segment where we can deliver at far higher volumes," Burzer said.
