The Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Poland plant in Jawor in Lower Silesia produces four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines and batteries for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, including plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles. Construction began in 2017, and production started in 2019. The value of the investment in the engine and battery plant was estimated at around EUR 600 million (over PLN 2.5 billion). It is the first Mercedes-Benz engine production plant outside Germany; it employs over 1,600 people, and in January 2024 its millionth engine was produced.

Significance

The plant in Jawor made Poland the first location for Mercedes-Benz engine production outside Germany and integrated Lower Silesia into the group's global supply chain. It created over a thousand highly skilled jobs (ultimately over 1,600), and the engines and batteries produced there go to Mercedes-Benz plants around the world. The plant also became the base for a further investment worth over a billion euros in an electric delivery van factory.

Independence is counted the same way the gate that admits a record counts it: subdomains and titles from one publisher are a single voice, Wikipedia is zero. That is why the number is lower than the number of links. Three is the minimum.
