Mercedes C-Class might Be Built in the U.S.

2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

While American auto manufacturers are moving their production to Mexico and China, the foreign companies come to the U.S. to assemble cars in the country where they are going to be sold. It appears to be cheaper to move the production to the U.S. than to import the assembled vehicles from other countries.

Mercedes-Benz has just announced that it also wants to expand production of C-Class vehicles to the North American country. The plan is in the consideration right now, but if it is approved, the manufacturer will start assembling luxury C-Class vehicles at a facility in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which currently builds M-Class models.

There have not been announced even a preliminary decision yet, but media says if Mercedes really wants to start the production of two-door, four-door and wagon variants of C-Class autos at the American plant. Some further expansion is also expected.

The main reasons for Mercedes to move are the lower wages rates at Alabama and safeguarding the profits against unfavorable dollar-euro exchange rates.
