Mercedes Benz 125 Years of Innovation E-Class Production Sindelfingen

Came across this while looking for something else on YouTube and thought it may be of interest to some. Not sure I've posted it in the correct forum though.

A fascinating short video.

That dash-bot is a smart beast.

Surprising how much is deemed efficient to be done with manual intervention, though I guess all the different option fitments make full automation less worthwhile.

I imagine it would annoy the hell out of me having to work on something that was constantly creeping along.

So that's how they put the badges on straight!

How about C Class production.

One thing they've edited out of both these videos, the bit where they install the rattles and squeaks.

Kinda dispels any myths about grizzled old artisans lovingly bolting the cars together .

Watch a similar film of Longbridge or Dagenham and a large mallet appears to be the most common tool of choice.

Seems that a wayward W211 has found its way onto the line at 4:36.

Like the cheesy way it requires a girly to fit the bonnet ornament...
