With only a few weeks left to go until the world premiere of the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the last 220 Series sedan is rolling off the assembly line today at the Sindelfingen plant. The milestone vehicle is a cubanite silver S 430 4MATIC and is destined for a customer in the U.S. The production of the last car of the series provided Plant Director Prof. Eberhard Haller with an opportunity to comment on the vehicle’s success: “Since the series was launched in 1998, the employees at the Sindelfingen plant have produced about 500,000 units of the sedan for customers around the world,” he said.
