The all new driving force under the bonnet
Mercedes-Benz gave people a chance to see the latest technical features that help create its cars at an R&D and Production TecDay before the German brand launched its latest model on Monday.
The event showcased the new C-Class long wheelbase and cutting-edge production facilities at the Beijing Benz Automotive Co Ltd plant in Beijing's Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone. It followed hot on the heels of July's Design TecDay in Shanghai.
The new C-Class L was built at the automaker's BBAC plant and is the newest member of the growing Mercedes-Benz locally produced family. It is also the first vehicle produced since BAIC Group and Daimler AG signed their newest 10-year partnership late last year, showing the automaker's continued progress on the localization front.
