Mercedes-Benz is set to shake up its U.S. operations with a major expansion and consolidation plan. The German automaker plans to open a new research and development (R&D) hub near its U.S. headquarters in Sandy Springs, Georgia, this summer. Located just north of Atlanta, the new hub will serve as a hub for innovation and technological advancements, bringing together experts in fields such as artificial intelligence, electrification, and autonomous driving. Meanwhile, the company will close a technology and engineering facility in another location, reportedly in an effort to streamline operations and focus resources on key areas of growth.
