Mercedes launches construction of €500 mln factory in Jawor

Car producer Daimler broke ground on its €500 million Mercedes-Benz plant in Jawor. The factory, which construction is expected to be completed in 2019, will produce four-cylinder engines for passenger cars. Some 500 people will work in the facility. It will be built in the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone. The Jawor plant will produce technologically advanced four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines for the entire model range, from the smallest A-class to the S-class vehicles. They will be the next generation of vehicles that meet European exhaust emission standards under real-world road conditions, Daimler said. This will be the first Mercedes-Benz production plant in Poland.
