According to the company, it took 21 months for BBAC to produce the one million vehicles from 3 million to 4 million, refreshing its manufacturing speed. In the first quarter of this year, BBAC, the joint venture of Mercedes-Benz and BAIC Group, saw the 4-millionth engine roll off the production line as well.

In an effort to show the company’s determination in electrification and carbon neutrality, BBAC successively started the production of the EQB and EQA battery-electric SUVs since 2021. Building on the experiences and manufacturing technique collected during the manufacturing process of the two electric models, BBAC launched the all-new EQE based on its new-generation electric vehicle platform. 

The EQE is produced in BBAC’s Shunyi factory, which is constructed in compliance with Mercedes-Benz’s world-leading production base, Factory 56, and adheres to the German automaker’s Mercedes-Benz Cars Operations 360 strategy. 

The batteries installed on the EQE are also produced in BBAC’s battery factory. The battery offers an industry-leading energy density and high-performance water cooler system.
