Mercedes-Benz G-Class production continued

Nov. 11, 2005 -- Continuation of the long-term and successful cooperation between DaimlerChrysler and Magna Steyr! As recently announced by DaimlerChrysler, the Mercedes-Benz Car Group will continue production of their Mercedes-Benz G-Class beyond 2006 at Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has been produced in Graz since 1979. Since then, more than 185,000 vehicles manufactured. During the past 26 years, the G-Class has been permanently kept at a state-of-the-art level and, owing to its unique appearance and legendary off-road quality, has gained cult status.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 4MATIC has been manufactured in Graz since 1996. Magna Steyr's long-term relationship with DaimlerChrysler continues with two new production orders: the new Chrysler 300C launched this past June and production of the new Jeep Commander launching in Graz at the beginning of 2006.

The Magna Powertrain plants in Lannach and Ilz, Austria will continue to supply essential components for the four-wheel drive system (transfer case, front axle differential) of all 4MATIC models of the Mercedes-Benz Car Group.
