Kamenz (dpa-AfX)-At accumotive in Kamenz, the series production of a new generation has started drive batteries for the fully electric Mercedes-Benz (Mercedes-Benz Group (ex Daimler)). The work is considered a competence center in the global battery production network of Mercedes-Benz and is a subsidiary of the group. From 2026, Accumotive plans to expand the production sports folio with the preparation of used batteries, which then serve as spare parts, said Mercedes-Benz.
Kretschmer: Work contributes to international competitiveness
“We have to remain technologically at the top so that our automotive industry benefits from the mobility transition as best as possible. With its latest battery, the accumotive proves that large ranges are easy for fully electric CLA,” said Saxon Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU). The work in Kamenz makes an important contribution to the international competitiveness of Mercedes-Benz and at the same time strengthen the economy in Lusatia.
According to Mercedes-Benz, the new battery renovation is significantly shortened. In just ten minutes, energy can be recharged for up to 325 kilometers of range. Overall, the CLA 250+ reaches a maximum range of up to 792 kilometers. The batteries are manufactured on an approximately 350 meter long production line.
Old batteries should continue to be usable in second-life memory
In addition to the reuse of batteries as a spare part, Mercedes-Benz also has an eye on further use. With the subsidiary Mercedes-Benz Energy, based in the Saxon Großröhrsdorf, a successful business model with stationary large storage applications was established. Batteries that can no longer be used in the vehicle could be used in a second-life memory. At the end of the life of a battery, the material recycling is the key to closing the recycling circuit ./jos/dp/men
