Mercedes Will Make Another Model in US to Counter Tariffs

Mercedes-Benz Group AG plans to move production of another vehicle to the US as President Donald Trump’s tariffs raise costs and threaten to make imported cars uncompetitive.

The German automaker said in a statement that it will shift assembly of a “core segment vehicle” to its factory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, by 2027. Though Mercedes didn’t specify which model, its most popular import in that category is the GLC sport utility vehicle, which sold 64,163 units in the US last year.
