A look at the official footage of the Production of EQS Battery Systems at the Mercedes Benz site in Hedelfingen | This Is How Its Made
The EQS marks the start of a new generation of high performance electric vehicles and will offer-a range of more than 700 km (based on WLTP), based on a high efficiency powertrain and advances in battery energy density. Having integrated battery production seamlessly alongside existing transmission production, the Hedelfingen plant has been transformed into an important part of the company’s global battery production network. The quick ramp-up of its global battery production capacities and targeted expansion of battery competencies through the entire value chain are the key pillars of Mercedes-Benz electric initiative - from basic research, cell production up to batteries’ afterlife including 2nd-life applications and recycling.
High performance battery systems made in Stuttgart-Hedelfingen
The Hedelfingen plant, as part of the Mercedes-Benz Untertürkheim location (Germany) is responsible for the production of battery systems for the Mercedes-Benz EQS, as well as the upcoming EQE. The plant has a production and logistics area of about 16,500 m², relying on state-of-the-art systems including a wide range of Industry 4.0 technologies. The highly complex lithium-ion battery system is produced on an approximately 300 meter production line with more than 70 production stations and with a high number of automated as well as manual steps. A variety of components including up to 12 cell modules and the so-called EE-compartment for the intelligent integration of power electronics make up the EQS battery system.
Battery layouts enabling different range and performance variants
The EQS will be equipped with battery layouts enabling different range and performance variants. With an installed energy content of up to 108 kWh, the EQS targets, according to WLTP a range of more than 700 kilometers, aided by best-in-class aerodynamics. The in-house-developed software technologically enables updates over the air (OTA), ensuring that the energy management of the EQS will remain up-to-date over the entire lifetime of the vehicle. Besides its CO₂-neutrally produced cells, the EQS battery cell chemistry includes nickel, cobalt and manganese in a ratio of 8: 1: 1, cutting the cobalt content to around ten percent.
Production plays a decisive role in the sustainability understanding of Mercedes-Benz AG. The EQS is produced alongside the new S-Class at the “Factory 56” in the Sindelfingen plant, which operates CO₂-neutrally from the beginning. As early as 2022, the company’s own Mercedes-Benz passenger car and van plants worldwide and thus also the Hedelfingen plant will operate CO₂-neutrally.
Targeted extension of in-house EV expertise focusing battery cells
With the bundling and extension of its battery activities at the Mercedes-Benz Drive Systems Campus at the Untertürkheim site (Germany) the company strengthens its expertise in the field of e-mobility. Research and development activities are already anchored at the location, such as the e-technology center and cell technology center, prototypes for the electric drive system are built and cell technologies are researched and tested.
In order to deepen its competence as a center for battery technology, a new factory for the small-series production of future lithium-ion battery cells is being planned, starting its operations in 2023. Mercedes-Benz plans to invest a three-digit million amount in the transformation of the site.
