Mercedes-Benz will build a battery factory in Poland. There will be nine battery factories in the world.


Recommended Posts

According to foreign media reports, Mercedes-Benz has decided to build a battery factory in Poland in view of increasing investment in electric vehicles in the next decade.

Mercedes-Benz said in its statement that its parent company, Daimler, has invested more than 1 billion euros ($1.12 billion) in global battery production networks, including factories in Europe, the United States, China and Thailand.

The Polish plant will be located near its Jawor engine plant, 100 kilometers from the German border. Engine factories will start production this year, including four-cylinder engines for hybrid cars and traditional drive vehicles. Avon Engine Factory will be put into operation in 2019 and will supply Mercedes-Benz factories in Europe and around the world. Together with the battery factory being built, 300 jobs will be added in the future. Battery assembly will use cutting-edge technology, and EQ brand car battery production will begin after 2020.

Mercedes-Benz revealed that Daimler will buy more than 20 billion euros of battery batteries by 2030 in preparation for mass production of hybrid and electric vehicles. Before 2022, Daimler's Mercedes-Benz and Smart brands will release at least 10 pure electric vehicles, starting with Mercedes-Benz EQC pure electric SUV, which will start production later this year.

      new national survey by Atomik Research reveals 91% of American motorists say they’ve experienced a dead battery, but nearly two-thirds (65%) of motorists admit they don’t think about having their car battery checked until it’s too late.  
      To raise awareness of the importance of having a reliable car battery, Advance Auto Parts is giving away free DieHard batteries on National Battery Day, which is Sunday, Feb. 18. 
      Advance said it will surprise randomly selected customers with a free DieHard battery, including those getting their current battery tested, at participating stores nationwide.
      As part of National Battery Day, Advance is partnering with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield to encourage motorists to get their car batteries tested.  
      “Checking the performance of your car battery can prevent unfortunate and even unsafe events caused by dead batteries,” said Junior Word, Advance’s executive vice president, U.S. stores. 
      Additional data from the national Atomik survey commissioned by Advance in January underscores the need to remind motorists to get their car batteries checked:    
      Sixty-five percent of motorists say they’ve missed or been late to something due to a dead car battery; nearly 10% say they missed or were late to an important life event – such as a wedding, funeral or birth of a child.  Only 2% of motorists indicate they’ve had their car battery checked before a cross-country road trip.  Only 5% of motorists report having ever checked their car battery when there is a drop in temperature.  The post

      I bought a battery on Friday. I went in-person because I wanted to make sure that I get the right one. I know you can not return batteries, hence my wanting to be sure.
       
      I was sold the wrong battery. It's too big for the tray. I currently have a small battery and I knew that I could remove the sleeves used to hold the small battery. I didn't question the size because I thought it would fit on the big tray underneath the sleeves.
       
      I have him as much information as I had and even showed him the pictures of the battery. Other than suing them in small claims court, what would be a good course of action?

      Effective June 12, select Auto Plus locations became Factory Motor Parts (FMP) stores, FMP announced on its website.
      The sale comes after Auto Plus won bankruptcy-court approval to sell most of its locations to FMP after the company disqualified a different bid under suspicion of impropriety,
      link hidden, please login to view Earlier this year, Icahn Enterprises announced that Auto Plus was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In a news release, Icahn Enterprises (IEP) blamed ”lessened demand, supply chain disruptions, an inflationary environment and the effects of COVID-19” on the parts distributor’s struggles.”
      “Since acquiring Auto Plus, IEP has invested significantly in transformation and restructuring initiatives and has loaned significant amounts to Auto Plus but has obviously been disappointed in the results of these investments and the continued losses that Auto Plus has experienced,” the company said in January. “As a result, IEP has determined that it would no longer be prudent to continue to loan money to Auto Plus at this juncture unless done in connection with a restructuring process.” 
      FMP’s new locations will have inventories for all makes and all models combined with aftermarket brands as a result of the transaction, according to Factory Motor Parts.
      Founded in 1945 as Elliott Auto Supply Co., FMP has grown from a small, single location in Minneapolis to more than 300 locations in 19 states. The name was acquired from its participation in the former Chrysler Mopar Distribution network of the 1960s.
