The
V-Class is produced at the Mercedes-Benz Vitoria plant in the Spanish Basque
Country, where it contributes to ensuring that production runs at full capacity.
To guarantee that the site was optimally equipped for the production of the new
model series as of 2074, Daimler AG invested around 190 million euros in
Vitoria. The focus of the investment was squarely on the modernisation and
reorganization of the body shop, paint shop and assembly line.
