Star Assembly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG, expanded its production portfolio and officially started the assembly of electric drive units for the all-new, fully electric Mercedes-Benz GLC. (provisional figures: energy consumption combined: 14.9-18.8 kWh\/100 km | CO2 emissions combined: 0 g\/km | CO2 class: A). The new production scopes in the area of electric vehicle components strengthen the strategic role of the plant in the Mercedes-Benz global production network and business strategy. Sebe\u0219 is the second plant in the global production network to supply the Mercedes-Benz vehicle plants with electric drive units. The production site works closely with the German plant in Untert\u00fcrkheim, the competence center for drive technologies responsible for producing the units\u00a0for the new CLA and future models in the Top-End segment. With the assembly of electric drive units, Sebe\u0219 supplies key components to the production of the all-electric GLC, entering series production next year at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Bremen, Germany. Starting next year, Sebe\u0219 will also supply the Hungarian Mercedes-Benz plant in Kecskem\u00e9t with electric drive units, where the new electric C-Class will roll off the production line. Romania\u2019s Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan and further public officials visited the Star Assembly plant in Sebe\u0219 for the start of production ceremony.<br \/>\n&#8220;Producing the\u00a0electric drive\u00a0units\u00a0for the new all-electric\u00a0Mercedes-Benz\u00a0GLC\u00a0is an important milestone in the transformation of our plant and underlines the role of Sebe\u0219 in the global\u00a0Mercedes-Benz\u00a0production\u00a0network. Investments in the new\u00a0production scopes\u00a0enhance the\u00a0flexibility and thus strengthen its future-readiness. I am proud of the highly engaged and skilled team that will continue its success story with this new high-tech-products.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>J\u00f6rg Burzer, Member of the Board of Management of

industry into the European\u00a0value chain, which lays the foundation for an economy that will generate healthy\u00a0development\u00a0for the future. When a\u00a0company\u00a0comes to a location, it&#8217;s not only about production itself. It also means supporting education and social\u00a0responsibility. To be a competitive country means to have a qualified\u00a0workforce. I want to thank and congratulate the team at Star Assembly Sebe\u0219 for their significant contribution.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Ilie Bolojan, Prime Minister of Romania<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday we took an important step into the future of mobility. This achievement is the result of extensive cooperation, team dedication, flexibility, and expertise. We are proud of our highly skilled workforce and grateful to the local community for their continued support. We also appreciate the authorities\u2019 support for their role in this significant project. Together, these efforts position Sebe\u0219 as a vital hub in the global electrification strategy of Mercedes-Benz.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Gheorghe Achim, CEO of Star Assembly &amp; Star Transmission<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mercedes-Benz invested in a new facility, which spans over 30,000 square meters and integrates both assembly and logistics functions for electric drive unit production. This investment demonstrates the company\u2019s clear commitment to its highly skilled local workforce, the further development of the Alba region, and Romania\u2019s role in the high-tech automotive industry. The project also received approval for state aid support from the Romanian Government.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Digital and sustainable: High-Tech assembly of Electric Drive Units<\/strong><br \/>\nThe electric drive unit for the new GLC was developed in-house at Mercedes-Benz. A drive unit essentially consists of three subsystems: an electric motor, power electronics and the gear unit for power transmission. The assembly of these components into a complete system takes place at the Sebe\u0219 plant. The complete systems are supplied to the Bremen plant, where the GLC will enter series production next year.<\/p>\n<p>The assembly of electric drive units is highly complex and requires numerous production steps. The assembly line covers around 15,000 square meters, extends around 1000 meters in length, and consists of more than 200 manual and automated processes. All operations at the new facility are staffed exclusively by employees reassigned from other areas of the Sebe\u0219 site. Their new roles are supported by an extensive qualification and retraining programme, ensuring sustainable employment and long-term workforce development.<\/p>\n<p>The plant is fully integrated into MO360, the Mercedes-Benz digital production ecosystem, and relates to the production network thanks to the MO360 Data Platform. Among other things, this ensures the complete traceability of every component, including all production data.<\/p>\n<p>Production of the Sebe\u0219 site follows a sustainable concept: As is the case with all of the Mercedes-Benz production network&#8217;s own locations, production in Sebe\u0219 operates in a net carbon-neutral manner and is powered by electricity from renewable sources. The installation of a photovoltaic system of up to 5 MW is currently under review. The new production hall for the electric drive unit is supplied by a heat pump system. \u200b<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-playlist wp-video-playlist wp-playlist-light\">\n\t\t<video controls=\"controls\" preload=\"none\" width=\"638\"\n\t\t height=\"359\"\t><\/video>\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-next\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-prev\"><\/div>\n\t<noscript>\n\t<ol>\n\t\t<li><a href='https:\/\/www.stcu.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Production-Insight-Mercedes-Benz-GLC-EDU-Sebes-4k-final.mp4'>Production Insight Mercedes-Benz GLC EDU Sebes<\/a><\/li>\t<\/ol>\n\t<\/noscript>\n\t<script type=\"application\/json\" class=\"wp-playlist-script\">{\"type\":\"video\",\"tracklist\":true,\"tracknumbers\":true,\"images\":true,\"artists\":true,\"tracks\":[{\"src\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.stcu.ro\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/10\\\/Production-Insight-Mercedes-Benz-GLC-EDU-Sebes-4k-final.mp4\",\"type\":\"video\\\/mp4\",\"title\":\"Production Insight Mercedes-Benz GLC EDU Sebes\",\"caption\":\"\",\"description\":\"\",\"meta\":{\"length_formatted\":\"1:10\"},\"dimensions\":{\"original\":{\"width\":3840,\"height\":2160},\"resized\":{\"width\":638,\"height\":359}},\"image\":{\"src\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.stcu.ro\\\/wp-includes\\\/images\\\/media\\\/video.png\",\"width\":48,\"height\":64},\"thumb\":{\"src\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.stcu.ro\\\/wp-includes\\\/images\\\/media\\\/video.png\",\"width\":48,\"height\":64}}]}<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\t\n<p><strong>About Star Assembly<\/strong><br \/>\nStar Assembly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, is located in Sebe\u0219, Romania, and forms a key part of the company\u2019s global powertrain production network.
