Mercedes-Benz U.S. International resumed production at its Alabama plant April 27 under new COVID-19 guidelines to ensure worker safety.

The operations began Monday with one shift.

“In the weeks following, we will gradually bring in additional team members to begin running at full production volume,” the company said in a statement. “Our team members’ health and safety have top priority at Mercedes-Benz. Therefore, the halt of production and administration was a measure to ensure this and to further contain the spread of the pandemic.”
