Top world ranking for Mercedes-Benz SA
October 2013
News
The result of the annual JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is eagerly anticipated by motor manufacturers the world over as a definitive indication of supremacy in the automotive industry. In the 2013 survey of new car buyers in the United States, the Mercedes-Benz South Africa (MBSA) production plant in East London earned an unprecedented fifth consecutive placement amongst the top assembly plants in the Europe-Africa region in terms of new vehicle production quality. The East London plant produces the W204 C-Class for both the local and US markets, and registered only 24 problems per 100 vehicles (24PP100) surveyed.
The East London plant is currently in full implementation mode, gearing up for the introduction of the next generation C-Class in 2014. As one of only four Daimler AG plants worldwide selected to produce the luxury vehicle, MBSA will inject in excess of R2,5 billion into the local and national economy as it prepares facilities, infrastructure and human capital for the new model launch.
