BERLIN—Mercedes-Benz laid the first stone of a new research and development campus at its Untertuerkheim site in Germany on Tuesday which will research, design, and begin small series production of battery cells from 2023, the carmaker said.
The campus, in which Mercedes-Benz is investing a three-digit-million euro sum, will also have a battery safety lab running by 2025 which will test the safety, longevity, and environmental impact of batteries.
