The web has been boiling with all sorts of news about the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class this year and now the vehicle has finally entered production. Daimler’s Sindelfingen plant, which has received an upgrade worth €1 billion ($1.33 billion), has started bringing the new S-Class to the world yesterday.
"All of us here at Sindelfingen are enormously proud that the S-Class is made exclusively at our plant. We are able to draw on many years of experience making vehicles in the high-end, luxury class, and we do our best every day for our customers from around the world," said Dr. Willi Reiss, Head of the Mercedes-Benz plant Sindelfingen.

The facility features a new “pick-by-projector” system, which allows the employees to request parts by signaling these to dedicated storage systems. The system allows the factory to cur its energy consumption by around 20 percent.

To celebrate the event, Mercedes has released the video below, which. among others, takes us inside the Sindelfingen facility.
