When the Mercedes-Benz S-Class begins to struggle with sales, you know there’s something deeply wrong with the economy of the country or area where it is sold. Mercedes will be cutting one of the two shifts, at the German factory which currently builds the car.
The decision was forced-upon the company, as sales of their flagship offering in Europe have dropped by 27%, selling just 5,227 units in the first eight months of the year. This will result in them building some 8,000 cars less, in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The factory will start working at full capacity again, once the all-new S-Class enters production, in the summer of next year. The workers who have been taken off the shift, will be reassigned to work on the production of the C-Class, until full production is resumed.
