Recently, we learned from relevant channels that Mercedes-Benz has cut its two flagship models, EQS and S-Class, due to poor performance in China in the first half of the year.
| inquiry).
, 
, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and EQS are all exclusively produced by Hyundai Chemical Plant 56 in Sindelfingen.
This is a dedicated workshop for Mercedes-Benz’s flagship models, with 1,500 highly professional employees responsible for some manual assembly, including the most luxurious Maybach model in the Mercedes series.
So far, the factory has operated two shifts, but due to a sharp decline in sales, the factory is expected to have only one shift by the end of this summer.
While most employees do not run the risk of being fired, some temporary hires may not be able to be renewed.
, 
, according to local media reports, Mercedes-Benz attributed the reduction in production shifts to Mercedes-Benz’s shrinking share in China.
In the first half of this year, total sales of S-Class and EQS were 137,000 units, down 22%.
Mercedes-Benz had set a goal of delivering 50,000 EQS by the end of this year, but based on current sales, it could not even reach half of the target.
, some local media hold the view that China’s new power has shaken the strategies of overseas brands, German technology is no longer as cutting-edge as in the past, and China’s newly launched products can achieve the effect of equal distribution at a lower price.
