From conventional steel spot welding to cutting-edge laser techniques, Mercedes-Benz’s body shop is a hub of innovation in automotive manufacturing. Here, dozens of puzzle pieces are expertly assembled into highly complex vehicle bodies in just a matter of hours. The emphasis on safety is paramount, with vehicle carcasses designed to withstand extreme physical forces, considering their weight of 2 tons and maximum speed of 250 kmph. Occupant protection remains a top priority, driving continuous evolution in the steel and aluminum bodies, rigorously tested in numerous crash trials. Since the 1970s, Mercedes-Benz has pioneered experimental safety vehicles (ESFs), serving as testbeds for new safety systems, showcasing the manufacturer’s commitment to advancing automotive safety standards.
