- The Tuscaloosa plant is a global export hub producing GLE, GLS, and EQE SUVs with over 4.5 million vehicles made and about 60% of output exported worldwide.
- The decision is intended to deepen the company's connection to the North American market and enhance its engagement with customers in the United States, according to the head of Mercedes-Benz North America.
