Mercedes Bus Production Factory - Manufacturing Plant in Turkey
Mercedes-Benz Türk bus plant in Hosdere
Production of the Mercedes touring coaches series of buses and regular-service buses from start to finish.
The new and generously dimensioned Mercedes-Benz bus plant in Hoşdere just outside Istanbul was built in 1994. The plant covers a total area of 360,000 m² with buildings occupying 139,000 m². The factory is a full plant for all steps in bus production and features a body shop, paint shop, assembly lines and finishing assembly. The plant is equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. It embodies the overall concept of a modern production process, which it realizes in ideal fashion. As the other bus plants, the Hoşdere plant follows the best practice examples in the integrated production network of Daimler Buses and also sets its own standards. Today, Daimler AG holds a 67 percent interest in Mercedes-Benz Türk. Since 1967, Daimler has invested around EUR 885 million in the Turkish bus production. The success speaks for itself: more than 75,000 buses bearing the three-pointed star have been built in Turkey to date. Currently, they are being exported to more than 70 countries around the world.
