Engine and battery factoryDelivery van factoryThe first Mercedes-Benz engine and electric battery factory in Poland is located in the Jawor municipality, about 70 km west of Wrocław, within the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone. The plant, established as part of the newly formed company Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Poland, produces four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines as well as electric batteries for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This modern factory combines the highest standards of the automotive industry with the “Industry 4.0” concept, and its launch has increased the company’s production capacity in Eastern Europe, as well as the flexibility and efficiency of Mercedes-Benz’s global production network. Construction began in 2017.
The value of Mercedes-Benz AG’s investment in building the engine and battery factory in Jawor is approximately 600 million euros, or over 2.5 billion PLN. However, the launch of such a modern facility is not only an investment in its construction. The factory in Jawor also means the creation of over 1,000 new, highly qualified jobs, each of which generates additional employment opportunities among regional partners, subcontractors, and service providers.With the groundbreaking and start of construction of the new light commercial vehicle factory in Jawor, Mercedes-Benz Vans has marked another milestone on its path toward fully electric mobility for the van division.
The existing Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Poland engine and battery plant, which has been producing engines, engine components, and batteries for hybrid vehicles since 2019, will be transformed and expanded. In doing so, Mercedes-Benz Vans is implementing its previously announced strategy to enhance industrial competitiveness by expanding production operations in Europe.The new factory will set global benchmarks in productivity, optimized processes, and sustainability.
