New dream car made in Bremen: Mercedes-Benz starts production of the C-Class Cabriolet - Automotive World (press release)
The first C-Class Cabriolet has rolled off the production line at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Bremen. This is the first Cabriolet in the history of the C-Class and the fourth model of this product family which is being built at the Bremen plant, including the AMG versions. In the year of the dream cars, Mercedes-Benz has already put the new SLC, SL and the new S-Class Cabriolet on the road. “With the new C-Class Cabriolet, four models of one product family are being produced flexibly, efficiently and in top quality at the Bremen plant – a great reference for the site and the workforce. The launch of the C-Class Cabriolet increases the Bremen plant’s portfolio to nine vehicles, which requires a particularly high level of flexibility in production. The new model will thus be produced on the same assembly line as three other models – the C-Class Coupé, the E-Class Coupé and the E-Class Cabriolet. “We in Bremen are handling a highly diverse production programme and once again proved our competence in the area of production starts,” says Peter Theurer, Head of the Mercedes-Benz Bremen plant.
