Mercedes-Benz closes production line

For modern automakers, a serious threat is the era of electric cars, which began quite recently, but is moving by leaps and bounds. It takes huge investments to stay afloat in this business. There are two ways to deal with this situation:

• merging with other car manufacturers and joint development of advanced systems;
• reducing costs by significantly reducing the number of platforms and power plants.

It became abundantly clear that Mercedes-Benz had opted for the second solution to the problem.

German brand changes

Very soon, the Mercedes-Benz line will undergo fundamental changes. This will affect the number of platforms and motors. They will contract. Unfortunately motorists, some models of this brand completely sink into oblivion. The B-Class hatchback coupe and the S-Class convertible will become history.

The manufacturers took such tough measures in order to save money for the line of new cars. Mercedes-Benz plans to release electric cars and hybrid cars.

A powerful blow to modern cars, owners of large internal combustion engines, was the introduction of Euro-7, a new environmental standard for vehicles. He stipulates a complete veto on diesel engines installed on passenger cars.

This news stunned all motorists, because it may happen that very soon Mercedes-Benz cars with 8 and 12 cylinder engines may leave the European car market. These cars include the long-loved brands G 63 AMG and Mercedes-AMG GT.
