Mercedes-AMG hand-built engine production facility is 2019 'Factory of the year'

Description

Overall winner at the first attempt - following on from its habitual success in motorsport, the Mercedes-AMG performance and sports car brand has now pulled off a similar victory in the area of production: the AMG hand-built engine production facility at the company's headquarters in Affalterbach is 2019 "Factory of the Year". With this coveted title, bestowed by A.T. Kearney, the specialist journal "Produktion" and SV Veranstaltungen, a jury of experts rewarded the work of the engine Manufaktur (hand-finishing section) in Affalterbach. The new AMG four-cylinder high-peformance engine M139 is built on a new production line here. With an output of up to 310 kW (421 hp), the completely newly developed 2.0-litre engine is the world's most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder in series production. On board the A-Class, CLA and CLA Shooting Brake compact models, it enables performance and driving dynamics on a par with high-calibre sports cars.

  • The production of an AMG M139 Engine Plant in 20 minutes

    The four-cylinder will provide in the compact models of Mercedes-AMG in two power levels for highly agile propulsion: with 310 kW (421 hp) as so-called S-model and with 285 kW (387 hp) in the basic variant The AMG performance models with V8 engine already proven and meets even better the individual customer requirements.In addition to the pure performance figures, the new engine impresses with its spontaneous response. For this purpose, the torque curve was elaborately tuned ("torque shaping"): The maximum value of 500 Newton meters (480 Newton meters in the basic version) is available in the range of 5,000-5,250 / min (4,750-5,000 / min in the basic version). With this design, the AMG engineers achieved a naturally aspirated engine-like power delivery that further enhances the emotional driving experience. The engine developers were able to realize a dynamically increasing torque curve in the lower engine speed range and thus improve drivability. The growing torque at higher speeds increases the revving of the engine. In addition, the high maximum speed (up to 7,200 rpm) emphasizes the sports engine character of the M 139.

  • Start of production of the EQS at Factory 56 - Final Control in the Finish-Line

    A new definition of luxury meets the future of production at Mercedes-Benz: production of the EQS electric saloon started at Factory 56 in the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen plant - flexible, digital, efficient and sustainable. The EQS is integrated into ongoing series production at the site as the first all-electric model. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class saloon, the long-wheelbase version and the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class are already rolling off the production line at Factory 56.EQS production in Factory 56 exemplifies sustainable and CO2-neutral vehicle manufacturing at Mercedes-Benz. Numerous measures that enhance environmental protection and resource conservation characterise the factory: as just one example, photovoltaic systems on the roof of the hall cover yearly around 30 per cent of the electricity demand. Due to maximum flexibility, the assembly of different models and drive types on one line is possible. The processes and equipment in the production hall of Factory 56 can therefore be precisely adapted to the requirements of the EQS electric model.
