From 2010, these vans were set up in Germany, then shipped to the United States partially disassembled for reassembly to avoid import tariffs. A Daimler official said that the Sprinter's popularity in North America was making that process less efficient. The North Charleston plant had been employing only 100 workers. The Sprinter is available on the U.S. market as a panel van, crew bus and chassis in several variants with three lengths and roof heights, six-cylinder diesel or gasoline engines. The Sprinter has been assembled and sold in the United States since 2001.<sup id="cite_ref-63" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-63"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>62<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Brands">Brands</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mercedes-Benz_Group&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Brands"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Werk_Sindelfingen_aerial.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Werk_Sindelfingen_aerial.jpg/220px-Werk_Sindelfingen_aerial.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Werk_Sindelfingen_aerial.jpg/330px-Werk_Sindelfingen_aerial.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Werk_Sindelfingen_aerial.jpg/440px-Werk_Sindelfingen_aerial.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2560" data-file-height="1920" /></a><figcaption>The largest Mercedes-Benz plant is in <a href="/wiki/Sindelfingen" title="Sindelfingen">Sindelfingen</a>, Germany.</figcaption></figure> <table class="wikitable floatright"> <caption>Sales by business unit (2023)<sup id="cite_ref-:0_64-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-64"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>63<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>Region </th> <th>share </th></tr> <tr> <td>Mercedes-Benz Cars </td> <td>70.4% </td></tr> <tr> <td>Mercedes-Benz Mobility </td> <td>16.8% </td></tr> <tr> <td>Mercedes-Benz Vans </td> <td>12.8% </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The Mercedes-Benz Group sells automobiles under the following <a href="/wiki/Brand" title="Brand">brands</a> worldwide: </p> <ul><li>Mercedes-Benz Cars <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz" title="Mercedes-Benz">Mercedes-Benz</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mercedes-AMG" title="Mercedes-AMG">Mercedes-AMG</a> – High performance vehicles</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Maybach" class="mw-redirect" title="Mercedes-Maybach">Mercedes-Maybach</a> – Introduced November 2014</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Smart_(marque)" title="Smart (marque)">Smart</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Maybach" title="Maybach">Maybach</a> – production ended in 2012,<sup id="cite_ref-65" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-65"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>64<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but the ultra-high end <a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_S-Class_(W222)" title="Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222)">S-class</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_GLS-Class_(X167)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class (X167)">GLS-class</a> is sold as <a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Maybach" class="mw-redirect" title="Mercedes-Maybach">Mercedes-Maybach</a></li></ul></li> <li>Mercedes-Benz Vans <ul><li>Mercedes-Benz (vans group)</li></ul></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_Mobility" title="Mercedes-Benz Mobility">Mercedes-Benz Mobility</a> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_Bank" title="Mercedes-Benz Bank">Mercedes-Benz Bank</a></li> <li>Mercedes-Benz Financial Services</li></ul></li> <li>Others <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Mercedes_AMG_High_Performance_Powertrains" title="Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains">Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains</a> (builds engines for Formula One racing)</li></ul></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Former">Former</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mercedes-Benz_Group&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Former"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Share_Now" title="Share Now">Share Now</a> - Now part of <a href="/wiki/Stellantis" title="Stellantis">Stellantis</a> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Locations">Locations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mercedes-Benz_Group&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Locations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Mercedes-Benz Group has a worldwide network of production plants and research centers.
