Successful Financial Year for Mercedes in Kecskemét

In many ways, 2019 was a successful year for Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Hungary Plc. at the Kecskemét plant, which successfully started series production of three new models, the company's annual report says.

The new CLA Coupé was followed by the CLA Shooting Brake and, in the autumn, the three Mercedes-AMG Performance compact models. The vehicles manufactured in Kecskemét also made a significant contribution to the successful sales of the Mercedes-Benz brand in Hungary.

"This would not have been possible without our motivated and professional team. Thanks to the developments and the results achieved, the Kecskemét plant has further consolidated its role in the global Mercedes-Benz production network," the document adds.

All of the company's actions are based on the motto 'First move the world'. "In this sense, it is important that our strategic work is always determined by our integrity principles. The corporate values – passion, integrity, discipline, respect – set the trend in all of our activities. At the Mercedes-Benz plant in Kecskemét, we designed the year 2019 on this basis. We have simplified the previous ten strategic topics and integrated them into six strategic pillars, which include both professional and people-related approaches."

With the Ambition2039, Mercedes-Benz Cars has set itself the goal of CO2-neutral new passenger cars in less than 20 years. By 2030, the company is aiming for more than 50% of its car sales being plug-in hybrids or purely electric vehicles. "In our local strategy, we therefore pay special attention to sustainability and thus also to green production, which means lower power consumption, less waste and less paper consumption," the reports points out
