Five years ago, the #mercedesbenz #vclass set a new standard in the people mover segment with its design, its quality, its comfort and its safety and assistance systems and has since become a true success story. Now the 222,222nd #vclass produced in #vitoria has left the plant.

The #vclass from #vitoria: produced and delivered 222,222 times 

Production of the #vclass began in March 2014 in Vitoria-Gasteiz. As of May 2019 the new #vclass is being manufactured in #vitoria with a revised front design, a new generation of engine, 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission as well as state-of-the-art safety and assistance systems. In November the production and delivery of the 222,222nd #vclass marked a further milestone in #vitoria. The vehicle painted rock crystal white headed for Germany after leaving the production line. 

The #vitoria plant: modern and experienced 

The #vitoria plant in the Basque country, the oldest van production site in mainland europe, is a modern but experienced factory. The first vehicles left its production halls 65 years ago. This experience in combination with the most modern methods and processes, first-class facilities and meticulously trained staff is the ideal basis for the production of the #mercedesbenz #vclass and Vito model series. Thus the 5000 staff employed in #vitoria have received more than 400 000 hours of training in order to ensure that the new models are produced to the highest degree of quality and precision.
