(Tuscaloosa) Mercedes-Benz assembly plant to produce electric SUVs and batteries to compete with Tesla.
According to people familiar with the matter, Daimler will produce an electric SUV at the Tuscalusa plant in early 2020, and will begin building a battery factory in the annex next year to produce the batteries needed for the SUV and other electric vehicles.
People familiar with the matter also said that the electric SUV will be sold under the new energy sub-brand EQ of Mercedes-Benz.
Daimler’s move to produce electric Mercedes-Benz cars in the United States comes at a time when it is selling diesel-powered vehicles under US environmental regulations. In May, Daimler revealed to the outside world that the group suspended its plan to sell 2017 Mercedes-Benz diesel vehicles in the United States. Whether the future means that Daimler will withdraw from the US diesel passenger vehicle market is still unknown. Since Volkswagen’s emissions door scandal in September 2015, investigations into diesel exhaust emissions have swept across many national and regional markets, including Mercedes-Benz, FCA, BMW and PSA, as well as many well-known automakers. In the survey.
Daimler's expansion in the United States is part of a global strategy to enter the electric vehicle market. In July, Daimler also signed a framework agreement with BAIC. The two parties indicated that they will jointly invest 5 billion yuan to establish a pure electric vehicle production base and power battery factory in Beijing Benz to produce pure electric vehicle products of Mercedes-Benz brand. .
In early September, Daimler Group President Cai Che announced that Mercedes-Benz plans to introduce at least 50 electric passenger vehicles, including hybrid and pure electric vehicles, and electrify all its models by 2022 and will be Smart. Transformed into a pure electric vehicle brand.
The car assembly plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, has a total investment of US$5.8 billion since 1997. It mainly produces Daimler's new generation SUV models, including GLE and GL. In addition, C-Class sedan will also be here. produce. Last year, the plant produced more than 310,000 Mercedes-Benz.
Currently, global automakers are under pressure from US President Donna De Trump. He asked to limit imports and hire more workers to produce cars in the United States.
Of course, on the other hand, the investment boom of various automakers to expand their production capacity in the United States also reflects the fact that in this world's most profitable auto market, market share competition is also intensifying.
In June, BMW said it will invest $600 million in its Spartanburg plant in South Carolina to enhance its future generations of BMW X SUV production facilities. This investment will add 1,000 jobs to the plant.
In August, Toyota and Mazda announced a partnership to form a joint venture to form an SUV assembly plant in the southern United States, with an estimated annual production of 300,000 units.
In September, Honda plans to invest $267 million in its own plant in Ohio to launch the new Accord model.
At the same time, according to the US "The Post and Courier" quoted sources, Volvo plans to invest 500 million US dollars in its first US plant under construction, the Charleston, South Carolina plant, to expand the number Two production lines, producing redesigned S60 sedan.
In the CNC machining industry, in addition to metal CNC machining, plastic CNC machining is also relatively common. The two are also very different in terms of machining, the selected tools are also different, and there are also essential differences in speed and cooling. Due to the internal stress of the plastic, it is easy to crack and deform, so in the process of processing, it is necessary to control the speed of the tool and the problems of cooling. In short, CNC machining of metal parts and plastic parts is essentially different in the selection of tools, programming of tool paths, determination of tool speed and determination of cooling schemes. It is necessary to fully select and design materials according to material characteristics and processing experience. Only by determining various factors can we produce efficient and qualified products.
Machining metal parts and machining plastic parts are two separate departments at SCZY, each with its own processing equipment, tools and processing technicians. This ensures the durability of the equipment and the experience and professionalism of the technicians. Please contact us to discuss CNC machining knowledge.
