London, September 25, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –– – The Mercedes‑Benz plant in Vitoria (Spain) has successfully started its production of the first pre-series vehicles of the new all-electric Mercedes‑Benz VLE, thus preparing for the start of series production in 2026. The detailed production tests during the ramp-up ensure the high-quality standard for the start of series production that customers of the brand with the star are expecting. In order to meet the requirements of the first vehicle based on the newly developed, modular and scalable van architecture in production, the Mercedes-Benz plant in Vitoria has been comprehensively modernized.
From 2026, the Vitoria plant will initially produce the new all-electric VLE, the V-Class, the Vito and eVito fully flexibly according to individual customer demand. The VLE is integrated into the ongoing production of the Vitoria plant, initially as an electric vehicle, later also with a state-of-the-art combustion engine. This means that different Mercedes‑Benz vehicle models come from the same assembly line with drive flexibility. To this end, all production processes were comprehensively checked and adapted – digitally, flexibly, efficiently and sustainably. Thanks to the comprehensive investments in the Mercedes‑Benz plant in Vitoria, a new, modern bodyshop and a new, fully flexible paint shop were created at the site. The assembly hall has also been extensively modernized during ongoing production operations.
The Mercedes-Benz Vitoria plant is setting standards in sustainable van production.
