The report also coincides with recent comments from CEO Ola Källenius, who told reporters after the earnings call that the company "feels American" and wants to "grow their footprint in the U.S." "The point is we're also an American company," Källenius said we have our headquarters in Germany and our European origins He said the company hopes to shift more operations toward the U.S. primarily to avoid tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump operations support Mercedes-Benz’s global business in ways that have been largely underreported "We are prepared to continue to invest billions and we want to grow our footprint in the United States, we are committed," Källenius said "A little-known fact — we are one of the major industrial exporters out of the United States Two-thirds of the vehicles that we make in our Tuscaloosa plant actually go out into the world a significant part of them obviously to Europe." The Chinese car industry has become a major disruptor among manufacturers and the cause of many tariff-related discussions in Washington. The recent cuts and quotes by Mercedes-Benz and their leadership hints at a growing trend of large companies nearshoring production towards the U.S. as a result of tariffs "We know Mercedes went all in on EVs and those have not sold nearly as well as they forecasted," Shefska said "Brands like Lexus are on much better footing because they did not increase their prices as much or push into EVs more aggressively." facing growing competition and the cost of failed EV initiatives are struggling to sustain their businesses "We are seeing a similar story play out at both Nissan and Stellantis," Shefska added Mercedes-Benz experienced a 23% decline in battery electric vehicle sales This downturn has prompted Mercedes-Benz to revise its electrification goals aiming for EVs to constitute up to 50% of total sales by 2030 Get the free daily newsletter with financial industry insights and practical advice for CFOs A resource to help finance leaders track the state-by-state changes to CPA

Bischofsheim to the south-west of Frankfurt and close to the River Rhine The facility is expected to be ready for service by Q1 2024 "The last few years have seen an aggressive expansion in Frankfurt due to increased cloud capacity demands The availability of this new metro will greatly support our clients' growth and remove any constraints when it comes to scalability challenges," said Pete Jones chief development officer and founder at Yondr Group In November the company announced plans to develop a UK hyperscale data center campus in Slough The initial phase will see the development of a 30MW facility which is expected to be ready for service by the first quarter of 2023 The data center campus will have a total capacity of 100MW when fully developed This year has also seen Yondr form a $1 billion joint venture with Everstone to develop hyperscale data centers in India, and acquire 270 acres for a data center campus in Northern Virginia "The data center project proposed by Yondr is the largest and perhaps the most important development project for the City of Bischofsheim," said Mayor Ingo Kalweit Bischofsheim will become a digital infrastructure pillar and our community will

An employee picks up an empty crate from the conveyor belt which she fills with the respective orders The order was previously transmitted to the Autostore by the customer management system and displayed on a screen Each crate is assigned a specific barcode that belongs to a particular order The sizes of the facings on the shelves can be adjusted depending on what the customer wants," says Fieder the boxes rotate continuously and are used for both storage and retrieval of goods All goods that need to be refrigerated are delivered and pre-picked in the refrigerated area This means that the goods are assembled here so that they can later be placed in the individual sectors accordingly the added value and efficiency of the Autostore system start at the putaway stage." The Autostore is powered by 230-volt lithium-ion batteries This is to keep the energy consumption of the electric motors as low and efficient as possible "The lights in the hall basically use more electricity than the Autostore itself," Fieder says the distributor of the facility checks the entire system." the Autostore controller ensures that the robots do not get in each other's way which the robots approach autonomously as soon as they need to recharge the robots are waiting to remove boxes from the bays as well as to insert new boxes into the bays "Save Me" bags discount products with minor blemishes as well as deliver surplus goods to food-sharing organizations while goods are picked up twice a week from community kitchens we can reduce the percentage of goods that are not sold to less than one percent and the percentage of food that is actually then thrown away to even less than 0.1 percent," Kalleder emphasizes Customers should be able to do their entire weekly shopping through Knuspr which is why all other products such as washing powder can be purchased in addition to fresh produce but it's still important that we offer a full range," Fieder says "Due to our unique supply chain - mainly because the suppliers bring the food to us without intermediate storage and we also pass it on directly to the customer without dark stores or the like - we can guarantee fair prices without having to compromise on quality" adds Kalleder orders are taken via the conveyor belt and sorted into shelves "Half of this hall will be automated in the future After successful implementation of the automation the remaining manual part of the expedition will also be automated The robots will then remove orders from the conveyor belt and place them on the shelves Once the trip route for the orders is determined the robots place the orders into the flow racks The picked orders for the tours can then be loaded into our delivery vehicles more easily and quickly We can then use the employees in the areas where we need more employees anyway." From the end of May/beginning of July the conversion of the automation system in the expedition is scheduled to start and be completed by the end of August Another warehouse is located in Bischofsheim near Frankfurt For more information:Manuel Kalleder und Christian FiederGroßer Kern GmbHTal 3080331 MünchenTel.: +49 89 307 688 90   Email: [email protected] Web: www.knuspr.de  FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 FreshPlaza.com Reigning German Champion Jochen Kaess clinched victory in the third stage of the Trans Germany The 28-year-old took 3:39:13 to complete the 95.95km race with 2,674 metres of elevation change throughout the course from Bischofsheim a The Multivan Merida Biking member defeated Alban Lakata (Topeak-Ergon Racing) by 1.1 seconds and Bulls pilot Thomas Dietsch by 1.9 seconds Dietsch took over the yellow jersey of the race leader from Hannes Genze (Multivan Merida Biking) who was also off the front for awhile during stage 1 was all smiles and pleased with his performance The Oberstenfeld resident spent most of the day in the lead groups I felt good the whole time and was able to stay in front," said Kaess "I'm glad that I was able to secure the victory on this hard stage." Asked if he also hopes for some other good results or a higher placing on the GC "Despite the gap I guess everything is possible on the last four stages Our team won't give up and will try to place one of us on the podium - if it works on top of it." Dietsch jumped on the top spot of the ranking on the fourth stage; this year the French National Champion was able to do so one day earlier "It was a tough race but we had a very good team tactic with Stefan Sahm in the lead group from the middle of the race onward When Alban Lakata attacked up to the Dolmar and Hannes Genze could not follow the pace anymore Dethroned leader Genze was understandably not amused with this race result I was hoping to stay on the ball as from now on I guess I won't have a chance anymore." The 27-year-old said I was able to keep the gap at 30 seconds while pedalling in a group after the Dolmar climb Esther Suess celebrated her third stage win with a time of 4:09:59 The Swiss racer from the Wheeler Pro Team however experienced something new on the day's stage "I was riding a long time with Nina Gaessler and Sally Bigham That was pretty unusual for me as I normally ride together with the men." The British Topeak-Ergon Racing racer stepped up one spot on the GC to second in the women's classification due to her 4:14:39 finish time "I felt better than the days before and was able to stay in a group for a while until Lakata passed by again But on the downhills I was able to relax for awhile and noticed that I can bring home a good result."
