戴姆勒公司将在法国昂巴克地区(Hambach)投资5亿欧元扩建生产厂，用于生产全新奔驰EQ系列电动汽车，奔驰计划到2022年向市场推出超过10款电动车以便能与特斯拉及其Model3争夺市场。梅赛德斯正在调整其汽车基础，以便可以在同一条生产线上大规模生产汽油，混动力或柴油、电动车型，从而使该德国汽车制造商能够在需求激增时迅速扩大生产。去年9月，奔驰推出了“Concept EQA”电动车，该车续航里程约为250英里（约合402公里），无需插入充电桩就可以对车辆充电。奔驰将调整法国工厂规模扩大生产设备并重塑工厂基础设施以便能在法国工厂生产奔驰乘用车。昂巴克工厂去年生产的电动车和内燃机引擎车型的双座版Smart共计8万辆。

 

Mercedes-Benz to build Tesla-rivaling electric compact car in France

Daimler will invest 500 million euros ($589 million) in Hambach, France, to start producing a small electric Mercedes-Benz, the first of more than 10 EVs it plans by 2022 to go up against U.S. rival Tesla and its Model 3.

 

Mercedes is adapting its vehicle underpinnings so that it can mass produce electric variants on the same production line as equivalent volume models with gasoline, hybrid or diesel engines, allowing the German carmaker to scale up production quickly if demand spikes, a spokesman for Daimler said.In September, Mercedes-Benz presented "Concept EQA," an electric car with a range of around 250 miles, which can be recharged without having to be plugged in. Daimler said it is adapting its French plant to expand assembly facilities and reshape the site's infrastructure to produce the first ever Mercedes-Benz passenger car in France, Daimler said.

 

The annual production capacity of the Hambach plant, where Daimler produces electric and combustion-engined variants of its two-seater Smart vehicles, was more than 80,000 cars last year.
