Mercedes-Benz
wants to produce about 1.4 million
cars in 2012. Automotive News Europe
claims to have documents supporting this statement, but no one at Daimler (Mercedes-Benz’s
parent company) was ready to corroborate
this find. Nevertheless if true it would be quite substantial indeed, representing a 13% rise from 2011.
By the end of this week Mercedes-Benz would have concluded production of 1.25 million passenger cars for its 125th year celebrations. The
1.4 million figure for 2011 will be excluding smart and Maybach (not that Maybach will make much of a difference anyway),
and will rise to 1.52 million in 2012
and then 1.67 million in 2013.
To help this along will be “mass” products such as the new B-Class, next A-Class and facelift C-Class, as well as other smaller new cars
and SUVs.
